Quick answer

WordPress scales down any uploaded image larger than 2560 px, but it still stores your huge original. This workflow resizes photos to fit within 2560 × 2560 px and saves 82% quality JPGs — the same quality WordPress uses for the sizes it generates — with metadata removed.

What this workflow does

  1. Resize to at most 2560×2560, never enlarged
  2. Convert to JPEG
  3. Quality 82%
  4. Remove metadata

Why these settings

  • 2560 px is WordPress's default big-image threshold, so nothing useful is lost and the oversized original never reaches your server.
  • 82% matches the JPG quality WordPress itself uses for generated image sizes, so your uploads won't look different from them.
  • Smaller uploads mean faster backups and less storage on your hosting plan.
  • Removing EXIF data keeps camera and GPS details out of your public media library.
