## Description

**Something not working? Open a ticket and we’ll reply within 48 hours.**

WordPress generates several image sizes every time you upload a photo. Most themes
and plugins add even more. If you’re not using all of them, they waste disk space
and slow down uploads for no reason.

This plugin gives you a simple set of toggles under **Tools** to turn off what you
don’t need:

 * **Thumbnail sizes** — Disable any default (thumbnail, medium, medium_large, large)
   or custom size registered by your theme or other plugins (WooCommerce, etc.).
 * **Image threshold** — WordPress scales down images larger than 2560 px. Change
   that limit or disable it entirely so originals are kept as-is.
 * **JPEG quality** — WordPress compresses JPEGs to 82% by default. Set your own
   value between 1 and 100.
 * **EXIF rotation** — Some cameras store orientation in EXIF data and WordPress
   rotates accordingly. Turn that off if it causes problems.

#### How it works

When you first activate the plugin it reads the current WordPress settings (including
anything set by your theme or other plugins) so nothing changes out of the box. 
From that point on, the plugin takes over and you control everything from the settings
pages.

#### After you change settings

You’ll need to regenerate thumbnails so the changes apply to images you already 
uploaded. We recommend:

 * [Regenerate Thumbnails](https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/)
   plugin
 * Or via WP-CLI: `wp media regenerate`

## Captures d’écran

 * [[
 * Image Sizes — toggle any thumbnail size on or off.
 * [[
 * Image Quality — set the JPEG compression level.
 * [[
 * Image Threshold & EXIF — change or disable the big-image threshold, stop EXIF
   auto-rotation.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install directly from the 
    WordPress plugin screen.
 2. Activate through the **Plugins** page.
 3. Find the settings under **Tools**: Image Sizes, Image Quality, Image Threshold &
    EXIF.

## FAQ

### Why should I disable thumbnail sizes?

Every size WordPress generates takes up space on your server. If your theme only
uses two or three sizes, the rest are just wasted storage. Disabling them means 
faster uploads and less disk usage.

### Do I need to regenerate thumbnails after changing settings?

Yes. Changes only apply to new uploads. To update existing images, use a plugin 
like [Regenerate Thumbnails](https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/)
or run `wp media regenerate` from WP-CLI.

### What does « Disable Threshold » do exactly?

Since WordPress 5.3, any image wider or taller than 2560 px is automatically scaled
down and the original is saved with a `-scaled` suffix. Disabling the threshold 
keeps your originals untouched. You can also set a custom value (e.g. 4000 px) instead
of disabling it entirely.

### What happens if another plugin also sets JPEG quality?

The plugin compares your setting against the WordPress default (82%) and shows an
info message below the field. Since 0.7.0 the conflict detection is safer and won’t
interfere with other plugins.

### Is this plugin compatible with WooCommerce?

Yes. WooCommerce registers its own image sizes and they’ll appear in the Image Sizes
list so you can disable them individually.

### Does the plugin affect the front end?

The settings pages are admin-only. The only thing that runs on the front end is 
a lightweight filter registration (no database queries) that tells WordPress which
sizes to skip and what quality/threshold to use.

Excellent plugin. It does what it says. No any additional functions. Exactly what
I needed. Thank you

Simply Grate plugin with no « super cool » ui – just native options page ui (nice!)
and… it works on different setups – I’m using it with « Force Regenerate Thumbnails»
and just in the last few days I’ve recovered over 60GB (now 8GB before 72GB). I’ve
tried a lot of plugins, but this is the only one that really works with Force Regenerate
Thumbnails.

But non the less, 5-Stars for clean, errorless code, works without conflict! [ For
any future user seeing this, on Image Sizes Page, Toggle ON (blue light) for thumbnails
you do NOT want regenerated. ]

Hi buddy, at first I installed another plugin because there are a few thousand active
installations, but since it didn’t do what I wanted, I installed your plugin and
tadaaa, I could see all the resizes of the theme woocoomerce etc, in the other plugin
they were not visible. I wish you continued work and success, I want to give you
some advice, if you take it into consideration, you will make your users more satisfied
with the frontend. Combine the Image sizes | Image Quality | Threshold & EXIF menus
so that you can navigate from a single screen instead of separate pages Image sizes
> Image Thumbnails > In the Settings section, it would be better if you add 150×
150 scaling in parentheses next to Thumbnail, Medium, Large. In Image sizes > Image
Thumbnnails > Settings we can activate and deactivate the buttons, but it is not
clear what function this does, you need to add a note in the same window (activate
the buttons to block the sizes you want to prevent from loading).
