Core Features
Everything included in the free PVR Media Reviews plugin — available for free on the WordPress repository.
Photo Reviews
Customers upload real product photos directly in the review form. Multiple photos per review. Thumbnails with lightbox preview on the product page.
Video Reviews
Customers record or upload videos. MP4 and WebM formats supported. Videos play inline in a modal — no page reloads, no external links.
Client-Side Video Compression
Large videos are compressed in the browser before upload using MediaRecorder API + Canvas. No FFmpeg, no server CPU load. Configurable compression threshold and quality.
