This plugin did the job for me. I had copied some content from Google Docs into 
Gutenberg. The images were referencing external URLs. After installing I clicked
to process my post and it converted all images to internal images in the media library.
Thank you.

### 󠀁[Works with Gutenberg (5.0.3)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-with-gutenberg-5-0-3/)󠁿

I tried the other similar plugins, but they had problems with Gutenberg. This worked
perfectly and did a bulk job (255 posts) with no problems on a low end server. Pro
Tip: After installing, go to Tools > External image replace. It displays all your
posts that have external images, then you can select which posts you want it to 
process. Or you can select all posts. I ran a test on one post, then ran it on 255
posts on a hostgator shared server. It was slow, but it worked! Thank you to the
plugin developer!

とても便利なプラグインです。 手作業での引っ越しにくらべたら、どれだけの労力と時間
が節約できるか。。。 トラブルは見られません、どうもありがとうございました。
