Overview

This WordPress plugin provides a vital tool for users seeking more control over how thumbnails are generated on their websites. Typically, WordPress may automatically crop images in ways that are not visually appealing, especially when dealing with different image formats. This plugin addresses these issues by offering advanced options to manage thumbnail appearances effectively. Users can either employ an automatic face detection feature to ensure subjects are aptly centered, or they can manually add hotspots for even greater precision. This flexibility ensures that portraits, landscapes, and any uniquely formatted images are showcased perfectly, avoiding awkward crops like focusing on a person's crotch or cutting a face in half. Easy to use, the plugin integrates seamlessly into the media library, allowing users to preview and update thumbnails with just a few clicks.

Control Over Thumbnail Appearance

  • Allows you to control how WordPress thumbnails appear on your website.
  • Ensures thumbnails are cropped in a way that suits the image format.

Automatic Face Detection

  • Uses an automatic face detector to center the crop around faces.
  • Helps avoid awkward or inappropriate cropping of images.

Manual Hotspot Addition

  • Provides the option to manually add hotspots for more precise control.
  • Allows you to create multiple hotspots to ensure the best crop.

Easy to Use

  • Simple interface integrated into the WordPress media library.
  • Thumbnail previews available to see edits before saving.

User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate that the plugin effectively handles image cropping issues, ensuring the focal points remain intact, particularly faces. It allows setting custom hotspots to focus on specific image areas, which users find significantly improves the appearance of thumbnails and diverse image aspect ratios. The interface is described as user-friendly, saving time otherwise spent on manual editing in software like Photoshop. It integrates well with other tools like Regenerate Thumbnails. However, the automatic face detection feature lacks reliability and often fails to recognize faces, leading users to rely on manual hotspot settings. Some users also mention minor issues with wording and initial discovery of the plugin.

Seems to do the job, misses some points, and the wording over hotspots is inverted in the second line. Should say a hotspot is somewhere you want it TO look, vs to avoid. Other than that, seems to do the job even on WordPress version 6.5.4

I’ve been a fan of this plugin for a long time, ever since it came out. I can’t even imagine how it works, but it’s so so good.

DE Habe es zwar nicht ausgiebig getestet, aber es läuft immer noch wie zuvor unter WordPress 5.4 (Stand 25.4.2020). Ich verwende immer den Hotspot, um einen individuellen Fokus zu setzen. Sehr nützliches PlugIn. EN I didn’t test it very much but there is no difference to further function. I always use the hotspot function to set a custom focus. Very useful plugin.

I’ve installed this on a number of client sites with great results. There are now almost no complaints about mis-cropped faces.
