ThumbPress – Stop Generating Unnecessary Thumbnails

Description

When you upload an image using Media Uploader, WordPress generates multiple copies/thumbnails of that image. By default, WordPress generates 5 thumbnails-

  • Thumbnail
  • Medium
  • Medium-large
  • Large
  • Scaled

But along with this, theme and plugin developers can register their own thumbnails. Although they may be on purpose, but sometimes they remain unused.

Think about it, unnecessary additional images are eating up your server space and slowing down your site!

Sounds like a problem? What is the solution then?
This is where our plugin comes into the picture. Just install the plugin and choose which of the imaze sizes you want to prevent from generating.

  • Works with any plugin and theme.
  • WooCommerce compatible.
  • Multisite compatible.
  • Super easy to install and configure.
  • It’s free and always will be.

What about my old thumbnails?

It's not illegal or unethical to ask sites using a 'free' plugin to provide something in return, like a testimonial or some sort of data or even a linkback. But these guys added a sneaky footer link by default after a recent update. That's a strict NO NO.
