What you get from day one
Usage tracking
Every file is mapped to every place it is referenced: posts, pages, Gutenberg blocks, Elementor, ACF, theme options. Click any file — see exactly where it is used before you touch it.
Library Health and Media Score
A score per file (0–100) based on compression, metadata and format. An overall library score. Recommended actions that tell you what to fix first.
Duplicate detection
Mediapapa identifies identical files by content. Groups them. Shows you the reference version and how many times each is used. Prevents re-uploads at the source.
Deletion Warnings
Delete a file that is still in use? Mediapapa stops you and shows where it is referenced. Nothing breaks by accident.
Tags and search
Assign tags to your files. Search by tag, filename, alt text or caption. Filter by health score, usage status, format. Find the right file in seconds.
Pre-publish checks
Before a post goes live, Mediapapa flags media issues in the Gutenberg sidebar: missing alt text, unoptimised files, unindexed images. Fix before it publishes.
What practitioners say
“Should be in core. That kind of plugin is a mu-plugin — must-use.”
Julio Potier · Founder of SecuPress
“For years, I have been juggling a dozen different plugins to manage my clients’ media libraries. Mediapapa brings all of this together in one place.”
Thierry Pigot · WordPress agency owner
“The usage scanner shows where each file appears in posts, Gutenberg, Elementor and custom fields. The Prevent duplicated image feature alone stopped dozens of needless uploads.”
Alexandre Bortolotti · WPMarmite
Upgrade when scale requires it.
Free is usefull for understanding your library and keeping it organised manually. You will never hit a wall until you have bulk cleanup work to do — a lot of unused files to delete at once, a full library to compress, duplicates to merge across 10 sites. That is when paid plans unlock: bulk operations, unlimited compression, scheduled automation, WP-CLI.
