How do I update old pictures to my new image settings?

In this story

Where: Media → Photo settings (Images with older settings section)

Open this page: admin.<your-site>/settings/media#images-with-older-settings (replace <your-site> with your site address)

Steps

  1. Open Media, then Photo settings.
  2. Change your settings and tap Save.
  3. Under Images with older settings, tap Re-apply to outdated images.
  4. Wait for the message, for example "# images are being re-made. # could not be started."

Good to know

  • The button is off until you save. It says "Save your changes first."
  • Your original photos are untouched.
  • It checks up to 2,000 library items in one go. Run it again if you have more.

Common problems

  • Some could not be started. Run it again later.
