1.7.1

Release date: 26th February 2015

[Update] After reports of the plugin resizing PDF files, added check to ensure the plugin only attempts a resize on JPEG, GIF, and PNG file types other than relying on the response from WP_Image_Editor.

1.7

This is a major under-the-hood release to change core workings of the plugin. The plugin still functions as normal, but the way in which it resizes images has now changed to use standard WordPress libraries. This means that should your server have better image processing libraries than the GD default (e.g. ImageMagick), then the resizing method should make use of them. This should improve the output of your resized images!

[Update] Plugin completely re-engineered to use WP_Image_Editor when resizing images.

[Fix] Replaced use of deprecated PHP functions with correct ones.

1.5

[Added] Ability to force re-compression even if resize is not required.
[Fix] Compression quality value was not adhered to.

1.4.2

[Update] Added ability to enter a resize value of zero (0) to prevent resizing in a particular dimension.

1.4.1

[Fix] Reverting code back to how it was in v1.3.0 after previous premature deployment of v1.4.0. Please use this version.

1.4

[Error] Code was deployed prematurely and should not have made its way to the live repository. Please do NOT use this version.

1.3

[Update] Added ability to set the JPEG compression quality level when JPEGs are resized. Default is 90.

1.2

[Update] Now only runs images through the resizer if required, i.e. the image is actually larger than the max height/width.

[Fix] Corrected functionality that sets default plugin options if the plugin version number changes.
[Fix] Adds default option for max-height value.

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

By Abdolaziz (abdolaziz) on January 29, 2025

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

Disappointed and Unsatisfactory Performance

By zzlatevv on November 27, 2024

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 (roicecz) on September 15, 2023

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.

There is no better image plugin than this one

There is no better image plugin than this one! Thank you very much to his team!

Excellent work

By syhussaini on September 26, 2021

Works as advertised. Now posting using a mobile is a breeze. No longer need to worry about the hefty images that people may upload when posting with mobile, especially with mobile photos.

A must-have add-on

By benmustafa on December 1, 2020

I have been using it on all my Wordpress sites for a long time. In a word, it's a life-saving add-on. A plugin that I believe should be available by default in WP. Thanks to this plugin, I don't have to worry about what kind of image novice writers on my sites will upload. When entering content, you do not need to deal with the dimensions of the images. He does his job very well and quickly.

Keeps your media files under control !

By eugene212 on October 12, 2020

Excellent plugin - easy to use (automatically resizes loaded media files to specified parameters), you are in control and don't have to worry/check original file sizes.

Perfect and Effective!

By dviolante on October 11, 2020

Perfect plugin for sites where customers uploads their own images and dont have knowledge or software resources for image editing.
