Overview

A free, fast, easy to use, stable and frequently updated plugin to resize your images after upload. Supported by the friendly team that created ShortPixel 🙂

This plugin automatically resizes images (JPEG, GIF, and PNG) when they are uploaded to within a given maximum width and/or height to reduce server space usage, speed up your website, save you time and boost your site’s SEO.
Imagine that nowadays images can be over 4-5MB and using this plugin you can reduce them to 100-200KB with no extra effort on your side!

In addition, the plugin can force the re-compression of uploaded JPEG images and convert PNGs to JPEG (if they don’t have a transparency layer), regardless of whether they are resized or not.

Is that simple, just give it a try, it is safe and free! 🙂

It doesn’t support Avif and Webp format. An unsatisfactory plugin
by Abdolaziz·1 year ago

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

Disappointed and Unsatisfactory Performance
by zzlatevv·1 year ago·1 reply

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!

Superb!

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.

Thanks for fixing the big images issue
by Roice·2 years ago·1 reply

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.
