 * Hi! I’ve been saving up space for my website. So, I used the SiteGround Optimizer
   to help. At first, I used the highest option (I believe it’s 85%). Then, I realized
   the images looked too blurry. So, I used the lowest option (25%). Both of them
   loaded the images to match the compression level.
 * Does anyone know if it actually changes from the highest option to the lowest
   option. So, it doesn’t look as blurry? I wasn’t sure if it just ADDED the 25%
   up top of the 85%. It didn’t seem like it, but I just wanted to be sure because
   I don’t want to re-upload all the images again. Also, I didn’t backup my images
   due to it taking up a ton of space.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fimage-compression-help-w-optimizer%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello [@ashleyjpurdy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashleyjpurdy/),
 * Once the images are compressed they remain in the compression you chose. The 
   only way to preserve the original compression is by backing up the original images.
 * In case you do not want the compressed images you have the option to restore 
   the folders under the /uploads directory. You can do that from your Site tools
   panel > Security > Backups section.
 * If you require support doing that you can open a new Helpdesk request.
 * Best regards,
