    Hi @shaileshdhami,

    Hope you’re well 🙂

    Smush doesn’t create additional thumbnails when optimizing images.
    This is actually something that WordPress does on its own during the image upload and it depends on thumbnail sizes defined by your theme and plugins.

    For example, if your theme has 500×500 image defined and your plugins have 400×400 and 200×200, when you upload new image to your site it will upload original image and create 3 additional sizes based on defined thumbnails.

    Smush then grabs those thumbnails and optimizes them, it doesn’t create new ones.

    Cheers,
    Predrag
