Media Library File Size

78 Quality Score

Active Installs

17/30

With 6,000 active installs it is a niche tool, well below the 50,000+ installs of comparable alternatives, so the pool of community feedback is smaller.

Update Freshness

25/25

Updated on 2026-06-21 and tested against WordPress 7.0, the plugin shows current and consistent development activity.

User Rating

14/15

A 92 out of 100 from 5 ratings reflects genuine user satisfaction, though the very small sample size means the score should be read with some caution.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads opened or resolved is a concern; there is no public track record of the author helping users troubleshoot problems.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Requires WordPress 4.1 and PHP 5.6, giving it one of the broadest compatibility ranges in the category and effectively zero upgrade friction.

What It Does

Media Library File Size displays the size of individual files and total storage used directly inside the WordPress Media Library. A new 2026 Analyse feature lets administrators visualize the largest files via a pie chart, making it easier to spot oversized assets that are eating up disk space.

Who It's For

This plugin is best for site owners and agencies running content-heavy WordPress installations where storage management matters, such as publishers, photographer portfolios, ecommerce catalogues, or anyone approaching a hosting storage cap. It is particularly useful for non-technical admins who need a quick visual audit without running manual database queries.

Who Should Skip It

If your Media Library holds fewer than a few hundred small images, you already use an asset optimization plugin like Imagify or ShortPixel, or your host gives you unmetered disk space, this plugin will add little practical value to your workflow.

The Bottom Line

Media Library File Size solves a narrow but real problem, and the 2026 pie chart analyse feature is a genuinely useful addition for visual learners. With a Quality Score of 78.22 and only 6,000 installs, it is a solid specialty tool rather than a must-have, and the complete absence of public support threads is a small red flag for users who anticipate needing hand-holding.

Pick Folders when your main pain point is organizational chaos across tens of thousands of media items, not just measuring their size.

Instant Images – One-click Image Uploads from Unsplash, Openverse, Pixabay, Pexels, and Giphy 84/100

Choose Instant Images if you want to add free stock imagery directly into the Media Library rather than audit existing files.

Media Library Assistant 84/100

Go with Media Library Assistant when you need bulk editing, custom taxonomies, and advanced metadata control beyond simple size reporting.

TinyPNG – JPEG, PNG & WebP image compression 83/100

TinyPNG is the better pick when your real goal is shrinking image file sizes on upload rather than visualizing what is already on disk.

Quick Featured Images 83/100

Quick Featured Images makes more sense if your workflow bottleneck is assigning featured images to many posts at once.
