Once it’s added you have the option of editing it and scaling it down to a custom size. If you don’t have the exact size, choose the next size up. It makes sense to choose an image closest to the size you want on the page. When you add an image to a post or page, WordPress will prompt you to choose the size to insert. WordPress takes your original image and makes these smaller versions, which are stored in your wp-content/uploads folder. Thumbnail size is 150 x 150 px, and cropped to the exact dimensions.You can see these in the Settings > Media screen. When you upload an image, WordPress by default creates copies of that image in standard dimensions. The two values are related – the smaller the image, the lower the file size. Image dimensions, measured in pixels (px).Image file size, which is measured in KB or MB.Images have two main sizes associated with them:

Download the trial and give it a shot.WordPress is actually pretty smart when it comes to images. If you tend to upload a lot of images to social media, or to your own website and you want to push larger files without slowing performance down, JPEGmini might be exactly what you are looking for.
#JPEGMINI FOR $20 UPDATE#
One can always purchase an update to Pro later on. $20 USD strikes me as good enough for now, and I expect to make the purchase once the trial expires. I like the idea of the product plugging in to Lightroom and Photoshop, but I don't see the need for file size reduction enough to warrant the expenditure of $100 USD for that. You'll have to decide for yourself if the investment is worth your while. The manufacturer, a company called BEAMR offers JPEGmini for $19.99, JPEGmini Pro for $99.99 and JPEGmini Server for $199.99/mth The server version is targeted at large photo houses, online retailers and those who have to process potentially thousands of images every month.

Thus it's safe to conclude that JPEGmini will consistently make your JPEGs smaller and no software choked on the files. This example, called Europa, showed a 3.4x reduction as you can see in this screen capture. I did take an older export that had been reduced in size for display on the web. I was only using the trial version and so didn't try those out. The Pro version includes a Photoshop extension as well as a Lightroom plugin. This is a very nice space saving and of course reduces consumption of cloud storage and bandwidth. I could not see any difference at all on the excellent BENQ 2740 display. I made a copy of the original, because JPEGmini overwrites your original file when you use it standalone mode, and compared the two on the screen using Apple Preview. After running it through the eval version of JPEGmini the file was reduced to be 18.7mb, a reduction of 2x.

The file size was 37.6mb for the full size JPEG. This was an export from Lightroom through Photoshop to apply a Digimarc invisible watermark. I used the app as a standalone for my first test. I tried the evaluation download that you can get at their website to see how it would work. If you want to post or send full sized JPEGs to people, this may be a solution for you. They do a really good job too, because they can make the file much smaller without causing a serious compromise in quality. JPEGmini brings their own compression algorithm on top of the core JPEG compression. That's a very large file, and moving lots of them around takes time and money. I have been doing some testing on Canon's EOS-M3 and the native RAW files are running about 40mb per, so the full size JPEG exports after editing were coming in around 37mb. The challenge comes when you don't want to downsize or set a lower quality level in your JPEG exports because the files are going to be rather large.

JPEG as we know is a destructive compression mechanism, but due to small image size and low resolution on the web, regular JPEG images can still look completely awesome on your display or your smartphone. It also runs 8x faster and can handle images up to 60 megapixels whereas the Diet version can only deal with images up to 28 megapixels. JPEG mini Pro does everything the regular version does (that I will call Diet based on the logo), plus adds the ability to run as an extension in Photoshop and a plugin in Lightroom.
