As of April 2026, Make it Srcset is a WordPress srcset plugin with 10 active installations and a 0/5 rating0. It has been downloaded 5.0K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 4.4.0+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2016. Last updated 8 years ago — may have compatibility concerns. Top alternative: RICG Responsive Images.
Enables shortcode and a template tag to pull srcset-images by attachment-ID.

For example, I use Advanced Custom Fields a lot pulling images by ID.
Generated markup are built from a set of custom image-sizes and the, by you configured, (srcset-)sizes attribute. Use the settings-page for default values and override them any time in the shortcode or template tag.
