Biggest opportunity: “image”, “image sizes” and “images” 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 600 of 11.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,778 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.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ KZeni3.3y ago
This seems like this is the best custom image size plugin freely available today. The plugin does what one expects/needs it to do without any added complexity. The interface is then neither too basic/unstyled (like some other popular custom image size plugins) nor does it go over the top & make things more complex than it needs to be. It’s also nice to see this plugin is on GitHub where the most recent patch was actually community-provided & officially adopted in the new release (rather than being somewhat stagnant and/or over-relying on the plugin developer to come up with improvements/fixes/etc.) It’s also good to see some activity regarding support and updates (again, unlike some other popular plugins for this.)

It doesn’t work. When I set image “crop: no” – it crops the image. Then I added another image size and it didn’t resize it.

Thanks so much for this plugin, it works great and is just what I needed! By the way, any way to make it possible to edit the “crop” options on the pre-existing image sizes? Again, great job, much appreciated!
