TinySharp Thumbnail Audit & Repair
Audit WordPress image sub-sizes, find missing thumbnail files or outdated dimensions, and regenerate only what the current site configuration needs.
Non-destructive auditMissing-file detectionTargeted repairResumable jobs
No account and no external image service required
Scanning and thumbnail regeneration run inside the WordPress installation with core image APIs. Original uploads are not deleted by the plugin.
What the audit separates
Repairable current-size problems are not the same as historical metadata
Missing metadata, file or current dimensions
The plugin can rebuild the affected current WordPress image sizes.
Old unregistered size records
Reported for review instead of being deleted automatically because older content may still reference them.
Safe repair sequence
Scan first, choose a mode, then process one image per request
The plugin avoids one giant PHP request and stores progress so longer jobs can pause, resume or skip a blocking attachment.

Questions about WordPress thumbnail audit and regeneration
The plugin repairs sub-sizes; it does not replace a compression tool.
Does the audit change files?
No. The Scan & Audit workflow is non-destructive and reports problems before a repair job is started.
Does the plugin delete original uploads?
No. Original uploads are never deleted by TinySharp Thumbnail Audit & Repair.
Why are old unregistered sizes not deleted automatically?
Older content can still reference those files directly, so historical records are reported for review instead of being treated as safe automatic deletions.
Can I regenerate only missing thumbnails?
Yes. Missing-only mode creates absent metadata entries and repairs referenced thumbnail files that no longer exist.
Does it compress images?
No. Thumbnail regeneration and image compression are separate tasks. Use TinySharp Image Optimizer Connector for compression and modern format workflows.
