The Media Settings control default behaviors for inserting images or other media into your posts or pages.

Image sizes can be set here and will be used when inserting images into a post or page. When setting a thumnail size, the image will be cropped and resized to the setting. Medium and large images will keep the dimension proportions, taking the maximum width and height into account.

Some of the previous settings for defaults have been removed. WordPress will now save the state of those settings from the last time you used them. For example, if you last inserted a Full Size image, that option will be set the next time you insert an image.
