Breakdance Addon: Breakdance Image Replacer

Breakdance Image Replacer is a WordPress plugin that lets you replace images by drag-and-drop—on the frontend or in the editor—without opening the Media Library.

What it does

• Drag a new image onto an existing one → it replaces it instantly
• Overwrites the old image (no manual delete of unused files)
• Auto-refreshes and regenerates thumbnails
• No full page reload needed

Main benefits

• Faster design tweaks (fewer clicks)
• Works on any WordPress site
• Compatible with Gutenberg and Breakdance (including Breakdance 3 and the Fundamental Image element)
• Only users with upload permissions can use it

How to use

1. Install the plugin
2. Drag & drop a new image onto an existing one
3. It updates immediately

Note

It works best when the new file is the same image type as the original. For a different format, use the normal Media Library.
