### 󠀁[Plugin works great with WP 6.0.2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-works-great-with-wp-6-0-2/)󠁿

This plugin works great, the complaints below are from people not understanding 
how it works. You end up with the same number and names of images in your media 
library after running it, but the original image is overwritten with a lower resolution
version that is used by WP. Saved a ton of storage space for me, especially with
newer cameras generating very high resolution (and large) image files.

I used this on my photo gallery site, and it saved me a whopping 357 MB. I am definitely
spreading the word about this.

Does absolutely nothing at all. I assume it’s broken

Plugin works like a charm and is super light. The only minor issue is that technically
there is two large images (the new original and the large). Would be handy to have
a way to remove the other large so that there is only one total. Tried setting WP
media image settings for large to size 0, the issue is that this plugin depends 
on a large existing. Would also be nice to see other image size removal options.
Most of the image sizes fortunately are fairly easy to remove in functions.php.

Contrary to the other rating, this plugin does appear to work fine – don’t forget
to enable it in the plugins settings. I uploaded an image and it was immediately
replaced by the default 1024×768 version without altering the original filename.
Cheers 🙂
