The photos I upload are usually about 120-150 KB. In some galleries they have less than 100 KB. They’re not at all high resolution photos.

And then, as I said, I see duplicated thumbnails. Specially the small one (150×150). After bulk uploading the files to a gallery, inside its folder (uploads/wp_photo_seller/’galleryid’) I find several thumbnails and then watermarked images. And also a folder that has the original files and more thumbnails. I assume the latter are wordpress thumbnails (150, 200 and 300px), and the other ones are plugin generated (for the gallery templates I choose to use). But this ends up duplicating some thumbnails.

So, for instance, when I upload a 121 KB photo, I end up having 400KB worth of files ( the original file (121kb), 3 wp thumbnails (142kb), 2 plguin related thumbnails (83kb) and the watermarked photo (54kb) )

The thing is right now I have uploaded around 25.000 photos. Not duplicating a thumbnail has a great impact. Not creating thumbnails I won’t use (let’s say 300x300px), even more.

And yes, the hosting I’m in has storage limits.

So, the question again is: Is there any way to lower this size? Am I doing something wrong?
