About this plugin
Mediapapa is the effortless WordPress media library manager. It gives you full visibility into where and how your media files are used across your site, helping you organize, optimize, and maintain a healthy media library. Mediapapa manages images, videos, audio, and documents in one place.
Most WordPress sites accumulate thousands of media files over time: duplicates, unused media, missing metadata, and oversized images. Previously, you needed multiple plugins to understand and manage your media library. Mediapapa replaces them all.
Know Where Every File Is Used
This is Mediapapa’s core feature: comprehensive usage detection across your entire site.
The foundation of safe media management is knowing where your files actually appear. Mediapapa scans your entire WordPress site with high-precision detection to show you exactly where each media file is used: posts, pages, Gutenberg blocks, Elementor sections, custom post types, custom fields, widgets, and navigation menus.
This comprehensive usage tracking makes everything else safe. You will not accidentally delete a media file that is still in use. You can confidently identify unused files and understand the full impact before taking any action.
Complete Media Library Intelligence
Media Score
Every media file receives a Media Score based on storage optimization, accessibility, SEO, and performance. Your entire library receives a Library Health rating, making it easy to track improvements over time.
Usage Detection
Mediapapa detects usage across all media types and content sources: images, videos, audio files, and documents in Gutenberg blocks, Elementor, Classic Editor, custom post types, custom fields, widgets, and navigation menus.
Duplicate Detection
Automatically identifies duplicate images and shows you which one is the reference version. See which duplicates are safe to remove without breaking your site. No more wasted storage from identical files uploaded multiple times.
Unused Media Detection
Identify every media file that is not referenced anywhere on your site. Review the full list before deciding what to clean up. Nothing is deleted without your explicit confirmation.
Metadata Analysis
Find missing alt text, titles, and captions that hurt your SEO and accessibility. Get clear guidance on what needs attention and why it matters.
Image Optimization Recommendations
Detect oversized images, inefficient formats, and missing compression. Get recommendations you can act on to improve your site’s performance.
Smart Library Organization
Filter and organize your media library by health status, usage, duplicates, or optimization needs. Find what matters without risking accidental changes.
Media Tagging System
Assign multiple tags per media file and filter the library with smart search suggestions. Organize large libraries with tagging and search.
Built for Safety and Full Control
Mediapapa analyses your media and lets you act manually with full control. You decide what to clean, optimize, or keep. This makes it ideal for auditing media libraries, planning cleanups, and understanding your WordPress media before taking action.
No files are modified or deleted without your explicit confirmation.
When you need bulk actions, AVIF conversion, and automated size optimization, Mediapapa Pro handles that.

Who Uses Mediapapa
WordPress site owners who have accumulated years of uploads and want to understand what is safe to remove before running a cleanup.
Freelancers and agencies who audit and optimize client media libraries as part of a site handover or performance review.
E-commerce stores managing large product image libraries where duplicates and oversized images directly affect page speed and storage costs.
Content teams publishing regularly who need confidence that deleting an old image will not break a page built three years ago.
Privacy and Safety
Mediapapa analyses your media locally on your server. Core features (usage tracking, duplicate detection, health scoring, optimization recommendations) run entirely on your server with no data sent externally. The free version’s AI-powered metadata (opt-in) sends image data to the Mediapapa API only when you explicitly request metadata generation.
Mediapapa Pro adds optimization and AVIF conversion via the API: you choose when to use these features. See the FAQ section for full details on external services and data handling.
