WP Paint – WordPress Image Editor

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 · 97% 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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I have 5 Websites with tons of pictures and i have to wipe away a textphrase. Normal way would be to go to photoshop and create tons of new pictures and load them up and change. This tool just saved mit tons (at least 5hours) of work! Using only the colorpipe and brush every page was done in pounds 😉 of minutes

   I needed to add and position some text over an image and this plugin did the trick. Exactly what I needed. I hope that this plugin is tested for compatibility with WordPress 6.9 so that potential users have a comfort level, but I used it with 6.9 and it worked fine.

   WP Paint is a great addition to the standard editor in the WP media library. I wouldn’t want to be without it now.

   After installing the free version and testing it I found all the images that had been 2000 pixel had now shrunk to about 550 pixels. If this had been made clear in the write up of the plugin that would have been ok, but I cannot find anywhere that gives the limits of the plugin on pages you would normally expect to see it. All the good points are listed but not downside of the plugin which basically makes it a demo. Developers that do this sort of thing are basically scummy people. After checking it now seems the developer has now stopped selling teh pro version and also stopped supporting it.
