How can I automatically resize large images uploaded to WordPress?

Large image uploads can be automatically resized to prevent storage waste and ensure consistent sizing:

  • Configure maximum dimensions in WordPress Settings > Media
  • Use plugins for advanced resizing rules
  • Implement server-side image processing

The Imsanity plugin is an excellent solution for automatic image resizing. It automatically resizes huge image uploads to a more reasonable size, configure maximum dimensions for different image types, and bulk resize existing images. For more advanced needs, consider the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin to manage existing images and create new size variations.
