    I have the pro version and overall I like this plugin but it’s missing some features that I feel are critical. I’ve had the pro version for a few years but now I’m looking elsewhere to find the features shown below. I will not be renewing if nothing has changed.

    1. Upscaling images so that you can meet the minimum sizes required by different platforms.
    2. Modified images should replace the original images to drastically save space.
    3. Set minimum sizes so that after trimming an image it’s not smaller than the set size.
    4. Option to manually process images from the media screen.
    5. Include the image regeneration ability within the plugin instead of relying on another 3rd party plugin.
    6. It would be nice if you had accounts on your site for accessing subscription and license information.

    Hi @chopperstwisted

    Thank you for the feedback!

    Just to let you know that some of the features you listed are already available, while others are in the development pipeline:

    1. Upscaling images so that you can meet the minimum sizes required by different platforms.

    While the plugin automatically upscales images, there are instances where it might lead to a loss in image quality, especially when the original image is too small. To address this, we’re integrating an AI service to maintain image quality during upscaling.

    2. Modified images should replace the original images to drastically save space.

    I recommend using this WordPress filter to set a maximum width or height for the original images:

    add_filter('big_image_size_threshold', function(){
    return 1500;
    });

    Feel free to replace “1500” with any dimension you prefer.

    3. Set minimum sizes so that after trimming an image it’s not smaller than the set size.

    You can using the code snippet below to turn off trimming when the original image is smaller than the set size.

    add_filter('wp_sir_maybe_upscale', '__return_false');

    4. Option to manually process images from the media screen.

    You can already perform this action by using the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin. Simply go to your media library, select list view, and click the “Regenerate Thumbnails” link, as shown in this screenshot. Additionally, you can process a bulk of images from the “Bulk Actions” dropdown.

    5. Include the image regeneration ability within the plugin instead of relying on another 3rd party plugin.

    We’re currently developing a built-in tool to replace the need for the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin or similar. This feature should be available within the next few weeks.

    6. It would be nice if you had accounts on your site for accessing subscription and license information.

    We’re also in the process of setting up user accounts on our site, where you’ll be able to manage your subscription and license. We aim to roll this out by next month.

    Thanks for your patience as we work to enhance our plugin. If you’ve got any questions or need assistance with the pro version, just drop us a line at support[at]sirplugin.com. We’re here to assist!

    Best,
    Nabil
