It also includes an options panel where you can select the post types for which you want the drag and drop upload box to be available, as well as limit the allowed file types.

It works just as the regular upload does to compress all sizes and respect any custom image sizes. You can download the Drag & Drop Featured Image plugin from the WordPress repository.
