Image Sizes Manager

Every time you upload an image, WordPress generates a set of different sizes to be served in different locations on your site. This increases the end-user performance but takes up a lot of server space. Media Ace allows you to reconfigure that for you own needs.

Edit sizes

To manage image sizes, please follow these simple steps:

  1. Go to the WordPress Admin › Settings › Media Ace panel
  2. Switch to the Image Sizes section
  3. In the Custom section you can add your own sizes.
  4. In the Theme and Plugins subsection you can edit or deactivate sizes used by plugins or the theme
  5. In the WordPress subsection you can edit the sizes that are created by default by WordPress core. They can't be disabled.
  6. In the Inactive subsection you can reactivate the disabled sizes

Detect unused sizes

Not all image sizes are required at the same time. Depends on your site's configuration, some sizes are in use and some not. Unfortunately WordPress requires to register them all and this results in generating a lot of unnecessary intermediate image sizes (thumbnails) on your disk. To help you with this we've built a tool to detect active image sizes. It helps you recognize which sizes can be disabled.

To detect and disable unused image sizes, please:

  1. Go to the WordPress Admin › Settings › Media Ace panel
  2. Switch to the Image Sizes section
  3. On image size list, in the In use column you will find:
    • yes - this image size is required, don't disable it
    • unknown - this image size is probably not necessary, you can try to disable it. Be aware we are not able to check all possible occurrences and in some cases this size may be in use, e.g. by 3rd party plugin
