Hello,

Smugmug seems to be compressing my photos. eg. a 9MB photo shows up as 8.43MB in the web based uploader gui and finally ends up being 7.6MB after uploading. I tried looking for any gallery/site-wide setting that is causing this but was unable to find it. Any guidance is much appreciated.

Thanks!

    Hi,

    If your photos are uploaded in a colorspace other than sRGB, we will try and convert them. When converted, the file size may be a bit smaller. The resolution is untouched though. Please read more about uploading in sRGB here: http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/93362

    I hope this helps. If you have any questions or problems, please let us know. It might help if you emailed us. That way you can attach the file to your email to us, and send us a link to the photo in your gallery.
