It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/replace-image/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=3061293) # Replace Image By [WP Zone](https://profiles.wordpress.org/aspengrovestudios/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/replace-image.1.1.11.zip) * [Details](https://me.wordpress.org/plugins/replace-image/#description) * [Reviews](https://me.wordpress.org/plugins/replace-image/#reviews) * [Installation](https://me.wordpress.org/plugins/replace-image/#installation) * [Development](https://me.wordpress.org/plugins/replace-image/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/replace-image/) ## Description The Replace Image plugin adds a button to the Attachment Details screen which allows you to upload or select an image to replace the current image while retaining the URL and attachment ID. This allows you to easily swap in an updated version of an image without having to re-select it in theme settings pages, post/page content, or anywhere else where it might be referenced. **Important:** Disable your browser’s cache and any WordPress caching plugins before use; otherwise, the plugin may appear not to work.

Your browser is likely still caching the old image. Try doing a hard refresh (Ctrl + F5 on Windows, Apple + R / Command + R on Mac) while viewing the page on the frontend. Note that the backend seems to retain cached image thumbnails even after a hard refresh. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9e8e3d6e815de5cf78f4eff2cc0a5dab690e7648517aa9e1f005a83e20759f1d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[If one checks how it works, it’s great](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/if-one-checks-how-it-works-its-great/)󠁿 [pebweb](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pebweb/) 4. Juli 2025. I didn’t understand how it worked at the beginning. And I’m sure those who wrote bad reviews felt the same way. But now I’ve understood how to do it and it works perfectly.The plugin doesn’t work like others out of this category. I like the way it’s done, but if you can solve this so that people know how to use it from the start, you’ll hardly get any more one-star ratings. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/54cd981779eefcfba69d1af38629f5177b8c51520b333de5e14725583059b6ab? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[This is helpful, but not really what I needed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-is-helpful-but-not-really-what-i-needed/)󠁿 [mellowvision](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mellowvision/) 22. Mart 2025. Ideally, there would be a setting like „Enable Drag to replace“ and this would allow me to drag and drop a replacement file into the media file upload screen, with the same name as an existing file already in the uploads, and overwrite that existing file. I do not want the editors to have to find an original file to replace it with a new one. I just want them to upload the new one. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2d7bbf8bb3b03413c850a4e2ece125ea56d0133e053495c840813e948b6900cd? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works perfectly and has no bloat/ads](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-perfectly-and-has-no-bloat-ads/)󠁿 [aaylasecura](https://profiles.wordpress.org/aaylasecura/) 4.

I don’t know why some people say that it creates a new image instead of replacing, perhaps they don’t complete the process… Yes, you need to upload the new image so temporarily, after step 1, there’s the old and the new image. But then you select the new image as the replacement and the plugin moves the new onto the old one, completely replacing it and there’s no extra copy of it. Also note that if you have any image compression plugins that create for example webp version, you’ll have to manually delete and re-create those versions. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d26ee0bb521ed815165a93839eca723e12dde296d49e5363887f6ce2f7b13cfc? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works like a charm!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-like-a-charm-2372/)󠁿 [jeanjohnson2911](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jeanjohnson2911/) 9.
