WP-uploads why so many images – disk space issue?

    I recently moved a site to another domain and noticed how much disk space wp-uploads was using, when I checked the images every individual image uploaded seemed to have propagated a range of copies in different sizes so
    new image.jpg has also
    new image50x50.jpg
    newimage25x125.jpg and so on up to about 10 different sizes. Is this a result of my theme, a plugin, the wordpress resize in the basic install or something I am doing wrong.

    WordPress generates three sizes of images from the original, set in Dashboard>>Settings>>Media for use by the site; and your theme may also generate its own sizes, too. See https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Post_Thumbnails

    If your disk usage is high, yes, all the sizes will make a difference, but also be sure your original images are not more than 100DPI.
