Prevent WordPress From Creating Thumbnail, Medium & Large Images

Prevent WordPress From Creating Thumbnail, Medium & Large Images

April 18, 2011

in WordPress

I love WordPress blogging platform, it gives such an ease way of maintaining blog. One of the thing which I didn’t liked about it was unnecessarily creation of thumbnail, medium and large images whenever I upload any image in WordPress.

I normally do no use these image sizes, and these images sits on my valuable database and consume lots of storage space. I normally post at least 2-3 images in each post and subsequently these posts grow in number, ending up lots of different useless sized images.

I found an easy way to turn off this automatic generation of these images without having to download any plugins or manually modifying any WordPress code.

Go to your WordPress dashboard, and look for Setting tab on right side. Click on sub-tab Media.

Settings Prevent WordPress From Creating Thumbnail, Medium & Large Images

Under Images sizes section, change all the value of width & height of Thumnail size, Medium size and Large size to 0 (zero).

Media Settings Prevent WordPress From Creating Thumbnail, Medium & Large Images

Click on Save changes.

Now lets check its working or not?

Upload an image, you will see the option Thumbnail, Medium & Large next to Size is grayed out.

Njoy!!
