Biggest opportunity: Swap “image options” for “camera”. “image options” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “camera” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 13.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,771 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.
This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “image options” for “camera”. “image options” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “camera” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Excellent plugin. It does what it says. No any additional functions. Exactly what I needed. Thank you

Simple but useful plugin, thank you

Simply Grate plugin with no “super cool” ui – just native options page ui (nice!) and… it works on different setups – I’m using it with “Force Regenerate Thumbnails” and just in the last few days I’ve recovered over 60GB (now 8GB before 72GB). I’ve tried a lot of plugins, but this is the only one that really works with Force Regenerate Thumbnails. This topic was modified 1 year, 11 months ago by Paul Bystrzan.

But non the less, 5-Stars for clean, errorless code, works without conflict! [ For any future user seeing this, on Image Sizes Page, Toggle ON (blue light) for thumbnails you do NOT want regenerated. ]

Hi buddy, at first I installed another plugin because there are a few thousand active installations, but since it didn’t do what I wanted, I installed your plugin and tadaaa, I could see all the resizes of the theme woocoomerce etc, in the other plugin they were not visible. I wish you continued work and success, I want to give you some advice, if you take it into consideration, you will make your users more satisfied with the frontend. Combine the Image sizes | Image Quality | Threshold & EXIF menus so that you can navigate from a single screen instead of separate pages Image sizes > Image Thumbnails > In the Settings section, it would be better if you add 150×150 scaling in parentheses next to Thumbnail, Medium, Large. In Image sizes > Image Thumbnnails > Settings we can activate and deactivate the buttons, but it is not clear what function this does, you need to add a note in the same window (activate the buttons to block the sizes you want to prevent from loading).
