FAQ
What happens to original image?
We keep a backup of original image, original image is moved to “del” folder.
What about the the other sizes of the image, are they getting replaced?
Yes, if an image “existing.png” have 2 sizes or more as “existing-150X150.png” and “existing-300X300.png” then these images will also be replaced with the new image and names of the images will be kept same.
What about the database changes, any modifications are done in synchronized image metadatas?
No, overall logic is we are replacing an exsiting image with a new media image, we take the name of original image (all sizes) -> moves the original images to “del” folder -> take the name of new image -> create a copy of new image and name it as original image.
What if my original image is having a “large” size and new image do not have “large” size?
As wordpress default maintains 4 sizes of media images “thumbnail”, “medium”, “medium_large” & “large”. Depending on the aspect ratio of image we uplad the different thumbnail versions are created. If original image is having “large” size but new image have only “thumbnail”, “medium”, “medium_large” then “large” size for the new image will be created by plugin and it will use the fulll size of the image.
