Add an Embed Provider WordPress Does Not Support
Teaches WordPress to embed links from an extra service that offers oEmbed, such as a podcast host, video platform or design tool, so pasting its URL on its own line shows the player.
Snippet Library
Snippets for the Media Library and uploads: allow SVG or other file types, rename and limit uploads, add image sizes, categories for media and alt text helpers. For content teams and developers who handle a lot of images and files.

Lets administrators upload web fonts (WOFF, WOFF2, TTF, OTF), EPUB eBooks, JSON and GPX files to the Media Library, which WordPress blocks by default.
Adds a "Camera details" box to the media edit screen showing the camera, lens settings, ISO, shutter speed, focal length and date taken that WordPress read from the photo.
Sets the size above which WordPress scales down very large uploaded images (2560 pixels by default), for example to 1920 pixels to save disk space and bandwidth.
Sets the default maximum width and height WordPress asks for when embedding videos and other media from a link.
Makes WordPress crop square thumbnails from the top of each image rather than the middle, so heads in portraits and headlines in screenshots are not cut off.
Stops WordPress from creating a scaled-down "-scaled" copy of images larger than 2560 pixels, so the original file is used as uploaded.
Stops WordPress from generating preview images for every uploaded PDF, saving disk space and server time when you upload many documents.
Sets audio and video players to preload nothing until the visitor presses play, saving bandwidth on pages with several media files.
Caps the size of files that can be uploaded through WordPress at 8 MB, even if the server allows more.
Adds a box to the image edit screen listing every size WordPress generated for it, with dimensions, file size and a link to open each one, to check crops and spot missing sizes.
Saves small thumbnails with stronger compression and large images with higher quality, so grids load fast while hero images stay crisp, instead of one quality for everything.
Makes WordPress generate WebP versions instead of JPEG and PNG for every image size it creates on upload, which usually cuts image weight by a quarter or more.
Changes the quality used when WordPress generates resized JPEG images. Lower values give smaller files; the default is 82.
Sets the compression quality WordPress uses when it creates WebP and AVIF images, separately from JPEG, so you can trade a little sharpness for much smaller files.
Stops WordPress from generating the medium_large, 1536px and 2048px copies of every upload, saving disk space.
