Additional Image Sizes To WP Uploader

We can use add_image_size() function to define additional image sizes along with the default sizes: thumbnail, medium, large and full size. Use the image_size_names_choose filter to access the array which contains the default image sizes, and add the additional image sizes to it.

Add this code to your theme’s functions.php file.

[php]
if ( function_exists( ‘add_image_size’ ) ) {
add_image_size( ‘new-size’, 500, 300, true ); // Set custom image size
}

function my_image_sizes($sizes) {
$addsizes = array(
"new-size" => __( "New Size")
);
$newsizes = array_merge($sizes, $addsizes);
return $newsizes;
}
add_filter(‘image_size_names_choose’, ‘my_image_sizes’);
[/php]

Filter image_size_names_choose is in the image_size_input_fields() function in wp-admin/includes/media.php and adding additional or custom image sizes to the media uploader is now very easy.
