I’m having issues with converting images. I can only convert images if I have the settings set to “Lossy”
If I set it to Lossless I always get the message
“The converted image would be larger than the original; conversion canceled.’
No matter what the size of the image is.
In WordPress health I see this message
The scheduled event, w3tc_imageservice_cron, is late to run. Your site still works, but this may indicate that scheduling posts or automated updates may not work as intended.

Hello Tim,
Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
The message you get in the W3 Total Cache Image service with the Lossless type selected means that, unlike lossy compression, lossless image compression won’t reduce image quality. That’s because lossless compression only removes additional, non-essential data.
The trade-off is that you won’t see a significant reduction in image file size.
W3 Total Cache informs you that with the Lossless conversion, the image may be larger than the original; therefore, the conversion is halted.
Is there any reason you are not using the Lossy option for the conversion?
Thanks!
