Resize Image After Upload

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 99% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

   It doesn’t support Avif and Webp format. An unsatisfactory plugin.

   I had high hopes for this plugin, but it fell short in crucial areas. It does not support resizing of WebP and AVIF images, which are becoming increasingly common. This is a significant limitation in today’s web environment. To make matters worse, there’s an issue with the wrong orientation when images are resized using this plugin. I can see that someone has reached out to the developers about this, but they refused to fix it. Such a lack of responsiveness and unwillingness to address critical issues is unacceptable. Until these problems are resolved, I cannot recommend this plugin to anyone looking for a reliable image resizing tool. I’d stay away from this plugin!

   This is an absolutely amazing plugin that does exactly what it says. Thank you ShortPixel for developing such a wonderful plugin and for offering it free of charge.

   Unfortunately, WordPress administrators do not deal with this at all, and all it takes is one careless editor and the administrator has a lot to do for many hours. With this plugin, servers are no longer filled with unnecessary giant images that are ultimately useless and just lie dead on the server and take up space. Lots of space.

   Works as advertised. Now posting using a mobile is a breeze. No longer need to worry about the hefty images that people may upload when posting with mobile, especially with mobile photos.

   I have been using it on all my WordPress sites for a long time. In a word, it’s a life-saving add-on. A plugin that I believe should be available by default in WP. Thanks to this plugin, I don’t have to worry about what kind of image novice writers on my sites will upload. When entering content, you do not need to deal with the dimensions of the images. He does his job very well and quickly.

   Excellent plugin – easy to use (automatically resizes loaded media files to specified parameters), you are in control and don’t have to worry/check original file sizes.
