When using third-party themes, it’s a usual practice to remove unnecessary image sizes and regenerate existing thumbnails (I’ve recently used a theme with 15+ new image sizes registered, yikes). I like that I can easily remove image sizes with Perfect Images plugin, however it doesn’t allow me to actually delete old image sizes, but this plugin does exactly that with one button – nothing else is needed, honestly.

It might work for small websites. But that’s it. It won’t let you disable unwanted thumbnails. Some thumbnails are registered only for specific actions, but this plugin will create them too. At the end, if you have woocommerce, all your produc tphotos will have blog sizes too. There’s no resume action, so with already over 10k you’ll be getting access expired. Retry link won’t work. At the end, after wasting a week with this plugin, I’m going for other paid versions.

This plugin is amazing and helped me delete thousands of images but I have too many (100k+, Yes I’m very productive) and it always end u failing after processing 80k-90k images. Is there a way for the plugin to start with the very first images uploaded and finish with the most recent ones ? That would be amazing ! Thank you for the plugin and looking forward to your answer, Best
