| Pros | Resizes uploads automatically, with no action from the contributor; Separate size limits for Media Library and other uploads; Bulk resize and per-image resize from the Media Library | Lists registered image sizes and disables unused ones; Bulk thumbnail regeneration; Retina and WebP versions of images |
| Cons | Replaces the original, so the full-size file cannot be recovered; Uses the standard WordPress resize, so output is not heavily optimised; No paid edition; support is through the WordPress.org forum | Some detail views and modules need the paid Pro version; Cloud optimisation sends site URLs to an external service; Cloud upscaling needs a third-party key and host |
