When you upload a large image, WordPress automatically scales it to a lower resolution while keeping the original image intact. Over time, this can lead to increased storage usage. This plugin helps you identify large images and resize them to preserve disk space and improve load times on pages where the full image is used.

Yangra Image Resizer scans your media library in the background and lists the largest images first. For each image it shows the original size, the size WordPress uses on your site, and where the image is used, so you can decide whether to resize, skip or delete it.

Resizing replaces the original file permanently. Please make sure you have a backup before you start.

Features

Finds the largest images in your media library
Resize an image to a new width while keeping its proportions, with a live preview of the new dimensions
Usage check: finds where each image and each of its generated sizes is referenced in posts, pages, custom fields (including page builder data), widgets and site settings, with links to edit or view them
Highlights images whose original upload is not referenced, so resizing it will not change how your site looks
Resize history: a permanent record of every resized image with its dimensions and file size before and after, and the total space saved
Monthly report email: on the 1st of each month, last month’s resizes, space saved and the largest images still to review (optional, only sent when something was resized)
Skip images you want to keep as they are, and restore them later
Runs in the background with WP-Cron and does not slow down your site’s visitors

Yangra Image Resizer Pro

Pro adds backups and tools to resize your whole library at once, from the same admin pages.

Backup before resize: keeps a copy of each original before it is replaced, and restores it in one click from the resize history. Backups are kept until you restore them, or for a number of days you choose.
Bulk resize: fits every image in your library inside a maximum width and height in the background, with a preview of how many images will change first. Pause, resume or stop it at any time, and optionally keep resizing new uploads that are too large.
Resize selected: tick images on the review list and resize them all at once.
Resize on upload: new uploads larger than a maximum width and height are resized as they are added, before WordPress generates the smaller sizes. Choose which file types to resize.
Image quality: set the compression quality for JPEG, WebP and AVIF, override it for a single resize, or recompress an image without changing its dimensions. The file is kept only when it gets smaller.
Savings report: a Report page with space saved per month, totals by manual, bulk and upload resizes, and your biggest savings.
Monthly report for your team: send the monthly email to up to 10 addresses.
