 * Hi,
 * Some of the images that have been optimised are bigger than the original image.
   
   It happens to jpg and webp images.

 * Hi [@salonijhaveri](https://wordpress.org/support/users/salonijhaveri/)
 * this is Ioanna from Imagify, and I’ll gladly assist you here!
 * Sorry about the confusion!
 * The problem is happening because WebP format image is larger in some of these
   cases than the original format image.
 * You can use [this helper plugin](https://www.dropbox.com/s/gqv6a82tqsa5aar/imagify-prevent-large-webp.php.zip?dl=0)
   in order to stop converting images to WebP if they will be larger than the original
   format.
 * Let me know if you need further assistance. I’ll be happy to help.
 * Best regards,
    Ioanna

 * Yes i have added the plugin – but some of the images are saving as .jpg.wbp and
   the size is not getting smaller.
 * What other settings do i have to change?

 * Hi [@salonijhaveri](https://wordpress.org/support/users/salonijhaveri/)
 * I am sorry to hear that there is still an issue.
 * You just install and activate the helper plugin. There are no other settings 
   to change.
 * Did you try to re-optimize those images?
 * If the issue is still there you need to create a ticket through our support page
   in order to investigate it further.
 * Best regards,
    Ioanna

 * Hi [@salonijhaveri](https://wordpress.org/support/users/salonijhaveri/)
 * The re-optimization link is next to the image on your Media library. Please check
   the following [screenshot](https://paste.pics/845a7322489aef6241e86c87c4ebd1d3).
 * Try to re-optimize in another level and check if your optimized image still has
   a bigger filesize than his original version.
 * If you need to create a ticket you have to visit our [support](https://imagify.io/support/)
   page.
 * Best regards,
    Ioanna
