 * Hello, I was unable to find an answer to this question. I understand that smush
   will optimize pictures to make the website load faster, but will it save space
   on the server? Or will it some how make smaller copies of the photos and in the
   end the free space on the server will decrease?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsaving-space%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * Apologies for the delay.
 * This feature is not currently available.
 * However, when the feature is released, the smushed image file will delete the
   original file, so will save space on the server
