Thumbnails and Featured Images

Great idea, and can go to the next level to be even more awesome…

1. rather than cropping images (and losing content), keep the largest dimension and provide an option to add a colored background, filling the gap (eg. with black) or transparent.
2. switch the format to WebP, to improve PageSpeed metrics
3. provide an option to turn off all thumbnail generation in the wp-content/uploads folder, and do it with this plugin, per the above, instead. Stop WP core from contaminating the uploads folder with dynamic content.

I like this plugin’s approach of generating thumbnails when asked.
I hope the plugin will be around for a long time.
Or if it were included in the core, it would cut down on wasted unused image files on servers around the world.

Now if only it would support WebP and responsive images, it would be perfect.

Thanks.

I re-use my post thumbnail images in various ways, so I like to upload them full size, and I need the software to resize them as needed. This plugin does exactly that for me.

It performs its magic transparently and makes my pages a lot lighter. Highly recommended.

This plugin solves my problems with the WP thumbnails, thanks Stefano!

Just want the doctor ordered! This plugin solved my nagging issue on a custom theme.

Thank you for sharing.
