# About ThumbPress > ThumbPress has been solving WordPress image and thumbnail problems since 2016 — from disabling and regenerating thumbnails to a full image-optimization suite. - Canonical URL: - Markdown URL: At ThumbPress, we stay busy until every image issue on your WordPress website gets resolved. ## Our Story ThumbPress was founded in 2016, initially focused on preventing unnecessary thumbnail generation and giving site owners an easy way to regenerate the thumbnails they actually need. A single WordPress upload could quietly spawn dozens of extra image sizes — bloating storage and slowing sites down — and we set out to fix exactly that. As our team dug deeper, we found many more image-related problems holding WordPress sites back: oversized uploads, missing modern formats like WebP and AVIF, duplicate and unused media, and heavy images that hurt page speed. ThumbPress grew well beyond its original scope into a comprehensive solution that tackles all of them in one place. Today, ThumbPress is a one-stop solution to all image and thumbnail-related issues for WordPress sites — so you can manage your media with confidence and stay focused on performance and building your site. ## By the Numbers - 1.2M+ total downloads - 30K+ active users - 60+ five-star ratings - 10+ languages supported ## Who Builds It ThumbPress is built by Codexpert (), which also makes EasyCommerce, WC Affiliate, CoDesigner and Pluggable. ## About ThumbPress ThumbPress is a WordPress plugin for image optimization and thumbnail management, built by Codexpert.
