Mediapapa – Your WordPress Media Library Manager & Copilot

Think of it as the essential media-management features WordPress doesn't provide out of the box.
Is Mediapapa free?
Yes! Mediapapa Free provides comprehensive media analysis including usage tracking, duplicate detection, health scoring, tag-based organization, and optimization insights. You can take manual actions to clean and organize your media library.

Mediapapa Pro adds advanced features like bulk cleanup actions, better AI-powered features, advanced automation, and priority support. If you manage larger libraries, client sites, or want to move faster with automation, Pro is designed for that. See all Mediapapa Pro features →
Will Mediapapa delete or modify my files?
Mediapapa gives you full control. In the free version, you can manually delete files, edit metadata, and organize your library - and you must explicitly confirm each action.

Mediapapa Pro adds bulk operations and automated optimization, but still requires your explicit confirmation. Your files are always safe, and you're always in control.
How does Mediapapa detect where files are used?
Mediapapa scans your entire WordPress site including posts, pages, Gutenberg blocks, Elementor sections, Classic Editor content, custom post types, custom fields, widgets, and navigation menus.

This comprehensive scanning ensures you never accidentally delete a file that's actually in use.
Can I use Mediapapa with Gutenberg or Elementor?
Yes! Mediapapa detects media usage in both Gutenberg blocks and Elementor page builder sections. It also works with Classic Editor, ensuring images used anywhere in your site are properly tracked.
How is Mediapapa different from other WordPress plugins?
Image optimization plugins focus specifically on compressing images to reduce file size. File system plugins focus on folder structure and organization.

Mediapapa is a complete media management solution. It includes usage tracking, duplicate detection, metadata management, health scoring, and optimization insights - everything you need to manage your media library in one place.

Mediapapa works with images, videos, and PDFs - not just pictures.

You get a complete toolset instead of juggling multiple single-purpose plugins.
Can I find duplicate images?
Yes. Mediapapa automatically scans and identifies duplicate files, showing you which one is the reference version and which are duplicates. This helps you decide which files to keep without guessing. Then you can safely choose which media to keep with one click.

Mediapapa Pro can bulk-select and remove duplicates while safely keeping reference files. See all Mediapapa Pro features →
Does Mediapapa slow down my site?
No. Mediapapa only runs in the WordPress admin area - it has zero impact on your front end site speed.

The initial library scan happens once (or when you click "Analyze Library"). After that, Mediapapa only analyzes new uploads incrementally.
What about AI-powered metadata content generation?
Mediapapa includes an AI-powered copilot that lets you generate metadata automatically. Use it to create accurate, SEO-friendly alt text and descriptions for your images.
What about media compression and image format conversion (WebP & AVIF)?
The free version identifies images that need size optimization and gives you a list for manual action. The plugin also identifies images that could benefit from modern web formats like WebP or AVIF.

Mediapapa Pro provides unlimited image compression without quality loss and AVIF format conversion via the Mediapapa API - with no monthly quotas or usage limits, unlike competing plugins.

Does Mediapapa use external services?
This plugin connects to the Mediapapa API (https://api.wp-mediapapa.eu) for the following features:

AI-Powered Metadata Generation (Free version, opt-in):
When you choose to activate AI features and generate metadata (titles, alt text, captions) for your media files, the plugin sends image data to the Mediapapa API. This includes the image file itself or image data, which is processed to generate SEO-friendly metadata. Data is sent only when you explicitly request metadata generation for a specific media file.

Image Optimization and AVIF Conversion (Pro version):
When using Mediapapa Pro features for image compression and AVIF format conversion, the plugin sends image files to the Mediapapa API for processing. Optimized versions are returned to your server. Image data is sent only when you explicitly request optimization or conversion for specific images.

Image files or image data (for AI metadata generation and optimization features)
Your Mediapapa account credentials (if using Pro features)
Plugin version information (for API compatibility)

Only when you explicitly activate AI features and request metadata generation for a specific media file
Only when you explicitly request image optimization or AVIF conversion (Pro features)
Data is never sent automatically without your explicit action

Is Mediapapa compatible with large media libraries?
Yes. Mediapapa handles libraries with thousands of files efficiently. The initial scan for very large libraries (5,000+ files) may take several minutes but runs in the background.

After the initial analysis, Mediapapa only processes new uploads, keeping performance fast.
