Biggest opportunity: “featured images”, “image crop” and “post thumbnails” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 3K of 101K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| acme | #1 | #24 | 0 |
| regenerate thumbnails your tag | #24 | #24 | 0 |
| featured images your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| image crop your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| post thumbnails your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “featured images”, “image crop” and “post thumbnails” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.
- Already on top for “acme”. #1 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

You’re better off editing all the images manually.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Alex Hall9.8y ago
This plugin works as advertised, but it didn’t advertise that it will hard crop all images, and that it will also toggle the (at this writing unreachable) wordpress setting to do so for medium and large images. My only fix for the problem this caused was here: https://gist.github.com/morgyface/3d9ccbd12e461018eb024fa44ea41b9e
