 * Hi, i have the “New Images Optimization” feature on and have run the bulk optimization
   tool. It happens that the plug-in is doing a very poor job at it, i have tried
   other tools like TinyPNG/TinyJPG, ShortPixel and Smush and the results are non
   comparable. For example, for one particular image, after optimizing thru SG final
   size is 366KB and with TinyJPG its 258Kb but the main issue is that the TinyJPG
   image is a lot sharper.
    My question is, is the original image that i have uploaded
   preserved and i can just delete the thumbs and run a different optimization plug-
   in or do i have to re-upload every single image? I have thousands of images. 
   Thanks

 * Hey [@negapo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/negapo/)
 * The images optimization overwrites the original images, and this is notes in 
   the plugin interface.
 * If you want to restore the images, before the optimization you can use our backup
   tool.
