Rethumbify Pro also includes a Notify on Completion setting. If enabled, you'll receive a notification when the regeneration process is completed. You can enable this option in the Settings section of the plugin under Rethumbify > Dashboard.

### Selective Regeneration

Selectively regenerate thumbnails by filtering images based on "post type" or "upload date." This allows you to target specific content types (e.g., posts, pages, custom post types) or images uploaded within a set timeframe. Apply these rules in Rethumbify's settings to save time and resources while optimizing only the images that matter.

{% hint style="info" %}
We're working on adding even more rules in future updates, giving you even greater control over which images to target!
{% endhint %}

### Regenerate Thumbnails for a Single Image

To regenerate thumbnails for a single image:

1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard.&#x20;
2. Navigate to Media > Library.&#x20;
3. Find the image you want to regenerate.\
   Click the "Regenerate Thumbnails" link below the image.
4. Click the "Regenerate Thumbnails" link below the image in List View, or the "Regenerate Thumbnails" button on the image popup in Grid View.
