<p>In modern web designs, designers create different sizes of images on the web pages for attractive layout. If a web page is built using wordpress, a developer has to register every image size in theme to make sure, if client uploads an image of different size, it does not break the layout.</p>
<p>With a new WordPress installation, by default it creates three sizes e.g. thumbnail (150 x 150), medium (300×300), large (1024×1024) which means whenever a new image will be uploaded, WordPress will keep at least four copies of images on the server, one original image and 3 cropped image copies based on image sizes.</p>
<p>When developer/designer needs different size of image, they will register more image sizes e.g. hero, product thumbnail, product large image, team member image etc depending on design of the page.</p>
<p>Now lets say we have 3 default and 3 custom image sizes defined in theme, and now whenever a new image will be uploaded, WordPress will create 6 image copies and 1 original image even we need to use only 1 for a specific area on the website, remaining copies will remain on the server and will occupy space. Imagine when we have lots of posts, pages having different images, how many unnecessary images WordPress creates on the server which are useless and just eat server space. In case of Woo-Commerce website if you need to upload a new slider image for home page or a hero image for about page, it will create a lots of copies including different sizes of products image sizes which woo-commerce registers itself.</p>
<p>Ultimately website speed gets effected and server space as well.</p>
<p>To solve this issue, we built a plugin WP Image Sizes this plugin allows user to decide which image sizes should be created for every image being uploaded through WordPress.</p>
<p>After installing WP Image Sizes, it will create a setting page from where user can assign image sizes to each CPT. e.g. user can assign one size for hero/slider CPT, one size for team member, testimonials. After assigning image sizes to each CPT when user will upload a new image, WP Image Sizes will only allow WordPress to create copies of image sizes which were assigned to the CPT.</p>
<p>In case user tries to upload an image from a Media, it will show options in media uploader to select which image size user wants and WP Image Sizes will only create that image size.</p>
<p>WP Image Sizes plugin saves a lot of space on the server and plays a role to make WordPress website a bit fast.</p>

<h4>View and Use Every Size of Your Images</h4>
<p>When you upload an image to your WordPress site, WordPress auto-generates lots of sizes of it. However, there aren’t many good ways to see and use those sizes:</p>
<ul>
<li>The Media Attachment page in “Media” doesn’t list anything about the different image sizes, or the permalinks to use them.</li>
<li>“Add Media” in the post editor doesn’t always show you all the sizes that exist (such as sizes intended for featured images).</li>
<li>There’s no easy way to simply copy a custom-sized image’s permalink.</li>
</ul>
<p>Until now! Display All Image Sizes displays information about every size of every image: name, dimensions, and permalink.</p>
<h4>How to Use</h4>
<p>Just install and activate the plugin, and you’ll see a list of all sizes of each image in both the “Add Media” pop-up modal, and in each image’s individual page in “Media.” (See Screenshots.)</p>

Display All Image Sizes


I needed exactly this plugin for working with the AcyMailing newsletter plugin. AcyMailing offers two ways to insert an image into the email - in the text editor (TinyMCE strangely configured) or as a block. In both cases there is no way to select an image size, and default is the original size. One can enter the URL of the image - but normal users (who uploaded fotos from their smartphones) won't know how to get the URL of a thumb by looking on the disc with FTP... And due to the proportional resizing you really do have to have that individual file name with the calculated pixel sizes.



This plugin was the way ahead. And as a previous reviewer noted, it really is skinny. There's effectively nothing which could go wrong with it :) The problem was only to find it - as it is so old, WordPress plugin search doesn't show it, at least not on the first seven pages. I found a mention of it in a YouTube video and then actually had to use Google to find it!!!



So PLEASE, dear author, just update the "Tested to", that would be really great!



One day later: Well, I've now created an updated version of the plugin myself, with an icon to copy the selected size (path) to the clipboard. Translation ready, and translated to German. I don't have the time to put it on wordpress.org, but you can get it here. It's clean, but please feel free to unpack it and check it for yourself.


Still works perfectly after 7 years

Displays all sizes of each image, including name, dimensions, and permalink for each size.
