Need to know which posts, builders, or meta fields still reference an image—or which uploads are safe to remove?
ProgMaze Media Scanner runs a deep scan of your site: it walks public post types (including templates), reads <code>post_content</code> and <code>post_meta</code>, parses Gutenberg-style block data, URLs, featured images, and nested serialized or JSON values so you get a clear picture of where each file is used and what is unused.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Full site scan — Scans all post types, pages, custom post types, templates, and reusable blocks.</li>
<li>Gutenberg aware — Parses block JSON attributes (core/image, core/gallery, core/cover, core/video, core/file, core/media-text, and more) to find media IDs.</li>
<li>Page builder support — Scans media used in Gutenberg, Avada, Elementor, and similar setups that store IDs or URLs in content or meta.</li>
<li>Featured image tracking — Detects when a media item is used as a featured image on any post or custom post type.</li>
<li>Post meta scanning — Finds media in ACF fields, WooCommerce product galleries, and other plugins that store attachment IDs or URLs in meta.</li>
<li>Usage detail view — Open any item to see every post that uses it, with Edit and View links and usage type (content, featured image, meta, gallery, setting).</li>
<li>Safe deletion — Only unused media can be deleted directly; used items can be detached first or removed with Detach & Delete.</li>
<li>Bulk delete — Remove multiple unused items in one action.</li>
<li>Incremental updates — Saving a post re-scans that post only, keeping the cache fresh without a full rescan.</li>
<li>Filters — All / Used / Unused, mime type filters, and search by filename.</li>
<li>Library overview — On the main screen: total storage, image vs non-image space, space by file type (bars), largest uploads, and most-referenced media (cached for performance).</li>
</ul>
<h4>Supported for</h4>
<ul>
<li>WordPress Gutenberg (core blocks)</li>
<li>Elementor</li>
<li>Avada</li>
<li>ACF (Advanced Custom Fields)</li>
<li>WooCommerce (featured image + gallery)</li>
<li>Builders that store media URLs or IDs in <code>post_content</code> or <code>post_meta</code></li>
</ul>
<h3>How it works</h3>
When you run Scan All Media, the plugin rebuilds its usage cache: it inspects content and meta for attachment IDs, upload URLs, <code>_thumbnail_id</code>, WooCommerce galleries, and nested structures. Each link is stored with a usage type. Saving a post triggers a targeted re-scan for that post only.
On Media → ProgMaze Media Scanner, filter by used or unused, narrow by type, search by filename, use View Usage for details, and delete or Detach & Delete as needed. Deletions are permanent—back up first.

The plugin provides the functionality to adjust the crop region of cropped images. It add buttons to the edit-pages and media-dialog to access a crop-editor. 
In the crop-editor you can choose one or more (if they have the same ratio) imagesizes and cut-off the part of the image you want.
The plugin is especially useful for theme developers who want to keep full control over cropped image sizes. If you want to dive even deeper, you can get informations about the hooks and filters on the <a href="https://github.com/vollyimnetz/crop-thumbnails" rel="nofollow ugc">github page of the plugin</a>.

Amazing work on this plugin. It make developers and users life easier creating a handy-way to crop thumbnails in the used sizes across the site.

Where's the button "This plugin should be native"?


Just found this plugin! This is so useful for making custom thumbnail image crops! Thanks for creating a super handy plugin! 👍


Simple and works perfectly for cropping thumbnails

"Crop Thumbnails" made it easy to get exacly that specific image-detail you want to show in your featured image or gallery image.
