stop resize button for wordpress media

Question

The images in my WooCommerce product gallery do not need to be resized I only need the original image to display. Is there a way to add a toggle button to wordpress media to tell it to generate other sizes or not?

I did not find a plugin or code for this... Of course, there is a plugin that does almost the same thing, but the way to do it to achieve the desired result is very long.

That's a bit tricky because WordPress doesn’t offer this functionality out of the box. But a workaround would be to stop WordPress from generating additional image sizes for uploaded images. But it will apply to all image uploads, not just those in the WooCommerce product gallery. If you wanted to try it out, here's the code for that:

function disable_image_sizes($sizes) {
    unset($sizes['thumbnail']);
    unset($sizes['medium']);
    unset($sizes['large']);
    unset($sizes['medium_large']);
    unset($sizes['1536x1536']);
    unset($sizes['2048x2048']);
    // Add any additional sizes you want to remove
    return $sizes;
}
add_filter('intermediate_image_sizes_advanced', 'disable_image_sizes');
