Prevent Duplicate Image Uploads
Stop the same image landing in your library twice under a different name. ThumbPress checks every upload against what you already have and blocks the copy before it's saved.

The Same Image, Uploaded Again and Again
Duplicates don't announce themselves - they quietly build up until your library is a mess.
Renamed, Not Removed
A team member downloads an image, renames it, and re-uploads it. WordPress sees a "new" file and keeps both - byte-for-byte identical.
2 copies of every file you never neededWasted Disk and Backups
Every duplicate takes real storage, and your backups copy it too - so you pay to store the same pixels twice, month after month.
Storage and backup cost, doubledCleanup After the Fact
Most tools let duplicates accumulate for months, then make you hunt them down and delete safely without breaking a page.
Hours of cleanup you can avoidHow Prevent Duplicate Uploads Works
It works at the source - the moment a file is uploaded, before it's ever saved.
Hash
As each image is uploaded, ThumbPress generates a content hash (md5) from the file itself - not its name.
Compare
It checks that hash against the images already in your media library to spot a byte-identical match.
Block
If the file already exists, the upload is stopped so the duplicate never enters your library.
What It Checks at Upload
A single toggle - once it's on, every upload is checked the same way.
Content, not filename
Matching is done on the file's actual bytes via a content hash, so a renamed copy of an existing image is still caught. Two files with the same name but different content are treated as different images and allowed through.
One toggle, always on
Enable it once and every future upload is checked automatically - no per-file steps, no scanning runs, nothing to remember.
Clean at the source
Prevention beats cleanup - keep duplicates out instead of chasing them later.
