How backup originals are stored and how to restore them in Robin Image Optimizer ​

Robin Image Optimizer can save a copy of each original image before optimization so you can restore them at any time.

In this article

Enable the backup process for images ​

Before optimizing, all your images will be saved in a separate folder for future recovery.

To enable this, navigate to your WordPress Dashboard > Robin Image Optimizer > Settings and enable "Backup images".

Restore the original images from the backup ​

Open WordPress Dashboard > Robin Image Optimizer > Settings and find Manage backups. The readout shows how many original images are stored in the backup folder and how much disk space that folder uses. If it says There are no backups., no original images are available, so Restore and Clear Backup are disabled because there is nothing to restore or remove.

Select Restore to replace optimized images with their backed-up originals.

Clear the backup ​

To remove stored backups, open Manage backups and select Clear Backup. Confirm only if you no longer need the originals; deleting the backups removes your ability to restore them.
