Does this plugin create images at half my size?

    I have a custom-designed home page with some non-standard WordPress drop-down image sizes. I have uploaded the images at exactly double what I actually need for the spaces. I can’t for the life of me figure out how to get WordPress to offer me my image at half the full size in the drop-down. I know there are ways to create custom sizes, but I just want a default “half. Does your plugin automatically create an image at half my uploaded size?

    If WordPress does NOT allow the half thing, do I just upload the retina versions with the @2x extension, as well as my normal images and your plugin will do the rest?

    Hi @isign4jc,

    There is only one way to do this, is to create the exact “sizes” that you need in your WordPress. Retina just adds the @2x depending on this.

    In the case of the Pro version of this plugin, indeed, you can upload a image which is twice too big, the plugin will create a half size of it and it will become the normal full-size, and all the thumbnails will be created based on it. For this, the Pro version proposes an alternative uploader (in the same upload screen as the other one).

    Ok, thanks. Let me see if I understand correctly.

    I am on the free version currently.

    I have an image that I want to appear on the page as a square 225 by 225 image. Currently, I uploaded the image at 450 by 450 and inserted it into the page at 450 by 450. I either manually resize the container it is in to be 225 by 225 or I insert into a predefined 225 by 225 container in my theme. Is this the right way to do it?

    I had my website designer create all images at twice their needed size for the space, as well as the actual size for the space, but I am not using any of the actual sized images.

    It seems like the web page is loading the twice sized images whether or not I am on retina.
