Features

The feature list from the plugin's own readme on WordPress.org, trimmed to the essentials.

  • 🌍 One-click connect — up to 100 GB of storage included with Pro, region auto-selected, nothing to configure
  • 📦 Bulk offload — push your existing media library to the CDN in the background, with live progress, cancel and automatic resume
  • ⚡ Auto-offload new uploads — every new image goes to the CDN on its own, without slowing the upload
  • 💾 Reclaim disk space — optionally drop the local copy after upload and keep only the CDN version
  • 🖼️ Responsive images covered — srcset URLs are rewritten too, so every size loads from the edge
  • 🛒 WooCommerce ready — product, variation, and gallery images served from the CDN
  • 🛡️ Never breaks your site — if the CDN is unreachable, images automatically fall back to your own server
  • 🎛️ Full control — exclude specific file types (SVG, PDF) or image sizes, and optionally lazy load CDN images
  • 📊 Storage dashboard — see exactly how much of your included storage is used, and how many images are being served from the edge
  • ↩️ Leave any time — disconnect and keep or delete the CDN copies; local files are restored so your images keep working either way

  • Good overall

    Very useful plugin with a solid free version; Pro adds extra tools. Developers are helpful, but support is hard to reach (Microsoft 360 blocks emails). Tip: use a Gmail account for support. Verification is slow, but support will eventually resolve issues.

  • software = Good. Adverts = bad.

    The software itself is good. I once used it on all my sites to restrict the image sizes that are automatically created at upload time, and it works really well. Unfortunately this team knows no boundaries when it comes to spamming your wordpress admin back-end with adverts for their pro version of the plugin. It would take me too long to list all the places their adverts popup, just take it from me they get odiously creative for finding annoying spots to place them. It "is"may" be their right to do such things for a free version, as it is my right to report on such antics in reviews. In short, the software works well, but the price you pay is spammed adverts polluting MANY areas of your admin.

  • Useful Plugin for Disabling Thumbnail Sizes

    I am using the free version of ThumbPress on many websites and it works very well. It is easy to use and helps me disable extra thumbnail sizes. Great plugin, thank you to the team!

  • The Latest Version Crashed My Site

    I have been using ThumbPress for many years. When this version updated on my site it crashed. Had to go in thru the server panel and delete the plugin before I could open the site. At the present time I have 68 subdomains and so far 4 sites have crashed. I am in the process of removing this plugin from all my sites before the auto-update crashes all of them.

  • Spam Bildirim

    Giriş yapmış ve yetkisiz kullanıcılara bile spam bildirim gönderiyorsunuz. Defalarca kapatıyoruz ama lanet bildirimleriniz tekrar ve tekrar geliyor. Esasen uygulama gayet güzel. Ama son güncellemeden sonra bitmek tükenmek bilmeyen, ısrarlı, saçma ve gereksiz bildirimlerinizden şikayetimi size 1 yıldız vererek iletiyorum. Bu saçma uygulamayı sonlandırdığınızda puanımı ve yorumumu güncelleyeceğim.

  • Which image sizes should be created for every image being uploaded

    The most needed feature is missing. The plugin should allow the user to decide which image sizes should be created for every image being uploaded through WordPress. Like WP Image Sizes (by aiwatech) plugin.
