Responsive Image Switcher

Responsive Image Switcher is a lightweight Gutenberg block that simplifies responsive image management in WordPress. Add the block, upload a desktop image (for screens ≥768px) and a mobile-optimized image (for screens <767px), and the plugin generates clean HTML5 <picture> markup. The browser automatically loads the appropriate image based on screen width, ensuring fast load times and an optimal user experience.
