Mediapapa is the effortless WordPress media library manager. It gives you full visibility into where and how your media files are used across your site, helping you organize, optimize, and maintain a healthy media library. Mediapapa manages images, videos, audio, and documents in one place.
Most WordPress sites accumulate thousands of media files over time: duplicates, unused media, missing metadata, and oversized images. Previously, you needed multiple plugins to understand and manage your media library. Mediapapa replaces them all.

<h4>Know Where Every File Is Used</h4>
This is Mediapapa’s core feature: comprehensive usage detection across your entire site.
The foundation of safe media management is knowing where your files actually appear. Mediapapa scans your entire WordPress site with high-precision detection to show you exactly where each media file is used: posts, pages, Gutenberg blocks, Elementor sections, custom post types, custom fields, widgets, and navigation menus.
This comprehensive usage tracking makes everything else safe. You will not accidentally delete a media file that is still in use. You can confidently identify unused files and understand the full impact before taking any action.
<h4>Complete Media Library Intelligence</h4>
Media Score 
Every media file receives a Media Score based on storage optimization, accessibility, SEO, and performance. Your entire library receives a Library Health rating, making it easy to track improvements over time.
Usage Detection 
Mediapapa detects usage across all media types and content sources: images, videos, audio files, and documents in Gutenberg blocks, Elementor, Classic Editor, custom post types, custom fields, widgets, and navigation menus.
Duplicate Detection 
Automatically identifies duplicate images and shows you which one is the reference version. See which duplicates are safe to remove without breaking your site. No more wasted storage from identical files uploaded multiple times.
Unused Media Detection 
Identify every media file that is not referenced anywhere on your site. Review the full list before deciding what to clean up. Nothing is deleted without your explicit confirmation.
Metadata Analysis 
Find missing alt text, titles, and captions that hurt your SEO and accessibility. Get clear guidance on what needs attention and why it matters.
Image Optimization Recommendations 
Detect oversized images, inefficient formats, and missing compression. Get recommendations you can act on to improve your site’s performance.
Smart Library Organization 
Filter and organize your media library by health status, usage, duplicates, or optimization needs. Find what matters without risking accidental changes.
Media Tagging System 
Assign multiple tags per media file and filter the library with smart search suggestions. Organize large libraries with tagging and search.
<h4>Built for Safety and Full Control</h4>
Mediapapa analyses your media and lets you act manually with full control. You decide what to clean, optimize, or keep. This makes it ideal for auditing media libraries, planning cleanups, and understanding your WordPress media before taking action.
No files are modified or deleted without your explicit confirmation.
When you need bulk actions, AVIF conversion, and automated size optimization, Mediapapa Pro handles that.

Mediapapa – Your WordPress Media Library Manager & Copilot


Très bon plugin. La détection des doublons est vraiment pratique, et rien que pour ça, il mérite d’être installé.


Enfin un bon outil pour les doublons


That kind of plugin is a mu-plugin, yes, must-use. I had several duplicated media because of languages etc, this plugin saved me from filling up my hdd. Also, the googly eyes.


Should be in core


The media library is often the bottleneck for clients with a lot of images to handle. Mediapapa brings clarity, avoids double images and tedious searches.



A must have for big sites but also for small websites with a lot of images.


Clean library, clean mind


I've been using Mediapapa on a few websites and it quickly became my go-to for WP media cleanup. The usage scanner shows where each file appears in posts, Gutenberg, Elementor and custom fields, and the Media Score plus optimization tips make it easy to know what to fix first.



The "Prevent duplicated image to be uploaded" feature alone stopped dozens of needless uploads and saved storage immediately. The duplicate detector also highlights a safe reference file, unused media detection is thorough, and the metadata suggestions help with accessibility and SEO.



I haven't tried the AI features yet, but knowing the plugin is built by one of France's top WordPress agencies reassures me about its quality.



Also, the UI and branding is polished and well thought out. Good job guys!


The plugin we were all waiting for


I've started by testing the Pro version discovered during the WordCamp Toulouse.I'm now testing the free version which sounds great too.Keep the good job !


First tested the pro version, good to see a free version


Ça fait des années qu'on jongle avec des plugins pour gérer correctement sa médiathèque WordPress. Mediapapa est exactement ce qu'il manquait : une vision complète de l'utilisation de chaque fichier, la détection des doublons, le scoring qualité… tout au même endroit. Un vrai manque comblé. Merci à l'équipe pour ce travail.


Le plugin qu'on attendait depuis des années


Really reliable plugin; a serious problem, handled the right way.
