@Mark or @david , When you have a moment, can you please clarify the questions in this thread…There are a couple of questions going on here, but one primary is whether user generated/uploaded photos are compressed by Glide before being stored. I read some threads (below) that they are optimized…not sure if the term was being used synonymously to compressed in size - but it seems there is some question as to what is actually happening. I did notice that the desktop has excellent image quality which we wouldn’t want to lose. Thank you! > [@Does glide download the image url or just display it?](https://community.glideapps.com/t/does-glide-download-the-image-url-or-just-display-it/10827/2): > > Neither. Glide heavily caches your images and optimizes them per device, changing their format and resolution to load optimally for each operating system and screen density. I’m guessing that you’re asking because you’ve updated an image and it’s not updating in your app. If so, please see [How can I cause my images to update whenever they change?](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-can-i-cause-my-images-to-update-whenever-they-change/364) > [@Avoiding slow app due to users image uploads](https://community.glideapps.com/t/avoiding-slow-app-due-to-users-image-uploads/8452/2): > > We optimize all images before they are downloaded, you don’t have to worry about it. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.glideapps.com/t/option-to-auto-resize-compress-image-on-image-picker/3528)._
