How to Disable Different Image Sizes for WordPress Website?

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does WordPress create so many image sizes?

WordPress generates multiple image sizes to support different themes, layouts, and devices. Over time, themes and plugins add more sizes, many of which are never actually used.

Can I safely disable image sizes in WordPress?

Yes. You can disable image sizes that your theme or plugins don’t use. This prevents future uploads from creating unnecessary thumbnails without affecting existing images.

Will disabling image sizes break my website layout?

No, as long as you keep the sizes your theme actively uses. Nexter helps you disable only unused sizes, so layouts and featured images continue to work normally.

Do I need a separate plugin to disable image sizes?

Many users install small plugins just for this task. Nexter Extension includes this feature as part of a larger toolkit, reducing plugin count and ongoing maintenance.

Does this help with WooCommerce product images?

Yes. You can disable unused WooCommerce image sizes to reduce storage usage and speed up product image uploads, especially on stores with large catalogs.

Is this useful for agencies managing multiple sites?

Absolutely. Agencies benefit from faster setup, consistent image handling, and lower hosting costs across multiple WordPress sites using a single plugin.
