Just a heads up on this new script I developed to resize/crop/scale images uploaded through WordPress.
It uses WordPress built-in functions so it’s completely native.
Some of the features:
- Completely native – uses WP’s built-in functions
- Works both on single or multisite install
- Easy to use, just feed in the URL
- Lightweight – can be minified down to +/- 50 lines of code
- Only process image once, then return the URL if the image already resized
- Options to crop, soft-crop, array return etc.
I have supplied a little write-up about it on WPExplorer.
I really hope WP authors will find it useful and adopt it into their themes.
With the script resizing it’s so simple and straightforward, e.g.:
<img src="<?php echo aq_resize($image_url, $width, $height) ?>"/>
It gets saved to the uploads directory and will just retrieve the url if the cropped image is already there = fast + easy + secure and overall just plain efficient.

Looks bloody good!
Will definitely have to try this out in the next project, thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much for SMOF and for this.
