Gain full control over your thumbnails
Ever thought that your site’s imagery just doesn’t feel right? Do you spend a lot of time adjusting each post image? We did too, mostly because all thumbnails get cropped right in the center, while most images are landscape or portrait. We built a plugin that solves all of this by allowing you to easily pick a focus point for your images, so that each thumbnail is properly centered around its subject. Works great for ecommerce sites, magazines, and blogs, and is compatible with virtually any theme.
Gone are the days when you had to manually crop or upload separate versions of your thumbnails. Now you can simply choose a point of interest for your image – e.g. a person’s face, an object, etc. – and all the thumbnails will be automatically updated to include them. Your pages will be much more aesthetically pleasing and your visitors will thank you for it.

Theia Smart Thumbnails
Theia Smart Thumbnails offers 2 crop modes: “Focused crop” and “Crop to fit”. With the advanced feature, “Crop to fit”, you can adjust the focus point without cropping the image at all. To achieve this it colors in the empty space around the image; it works with any image size or background color, as long as it’s uniform.

What our buyers say
Great plugin!! Actually works with the thumbnail sizes and is compatible with ACF fields and such out of the box. This is how it is done properly…! Thanks
Solid plugin, nice interface, and super easy to use and configure!
Holy WOW! I consider myself fairly proficient in PHP, CSS, WordPress, etc, and I’m stunned at the abilities of this plugin. Simply amazing! I wouldn’t have believed it until I saw it.
Does perfectly what is should do, even more: extra option added after purchase to be able to crop post feature full-size image!
What a support service!! Thank you very much.
This plugin is simply kick ass. It solves the dilemma of square or odd shaped thumbnails looking bad with portrait/landscape images, and it gets rid of the need for manual cropping tools.
Customer support is also very helpful and quick to reply. I highly recommend this plugin as a must have for an image heavy website, where having quality thumbnails and images is a must!
This is a great plugin that helps a lot! The focus still remains after disabling the plugin – which is sometimes necessary or makes sense on development. Very easy to handle! And simply a MUST for every site with quality images.
