Keep Original Size: Compress and Convert Without Resizing

Shipped on user request: a Keep Original Size toggle that skips resizing entirely. Each image exports at its uploaded width and height while format conversion and compression still apply. Available in both the Single Editor and the Bulk Image Processor, with outputs sorted into a dedicated folder in the export ZIP.

At a Glance

Keep Original Size is a workflow-level toggle that lives at the top of the sidebar in both Single Editor and Bulk Image Processor. Flip it on and Dropmatico skips resizing entirely: every image exports at its uploaded width and height. The format and compression you pick from Export Settings still apply, so HEIC to JPEG, PNG to WebP, lossy compression at original dimensions all work as expected. Outputs land in a dedicated DROPMATICO/Original/{format}/ folder inside the export ZIP, separate from any platform-preset folders if you mix and match. This one shipped because a user wrote in and asked for it.

Why We Built This: A Request From a User in Canada

This feature exists because a Dropmatico user from Canada wrote in with a clean piece of feedback. Their workflow was straightforward: drop 16 photos into the Bulk Image Processor, flip the format, run compression, download. The friction was that to get there, they had to pick or configure a canvas dimension for the entire batch, which meant either a forced resize they did not want or a custom dimension they had to enter and verify image by image. There was no way to say, just keep what I uploaded. Their photos were already at the exact dimensions they needed; they were only in the tool for the format flip and the compression pass. That single piece of feedback mapped directly onto a real gap in the product, and Keep Original Size is the answer to it.

  • <strong>The original workflow</strong>: 16 images, format change plus compression, no resize wanted
  • <strong>The friction</strong>: every batch needed a canvas dimension, which forced a resize or a manual setup pass
  • <strong>The blocker</strong>: no way to preserve each image's existing pre-made dimensions across the batch
  • <strong>The fix</strong>: a single workflow-level toggle that skips canvas configuration and resizing entirely

What This Solves

Most of Dropmatico is built around fitting images to platform targets: Instagram square, Amazon 2000x2000, Etsy 2700x2025. But the request from Canada surfaced a category of workflow that the platform-preset shape did not serve well: people whose source images are already at the dimensions they want. iPhone shooters need HEIC to JPEG without losing a single pixel of resolution. Designers need PNG to WebP at original size for a portfolio site. Marketplace sellers need to compress a 9 MB photo down to 2 MB for a CMS upload limit, with the dimensions untouched. And bulk users need to do this 16 images at a time without setting a canvas for any of them. Until this week, you had to either accept a forced resize or step out of Dropmatico for those jobs. Keep Original Size closes that gap.

  • <strong>HEIC to JPEG without resize</strong>: convert iPhone photos to web-compatible JPEG at full source dimensions
  • <strong>PNG to WebP at source</strong>: shave 25 to 35% off file size with no dimensional change
  • <strong>Lossy compression only</strong>: bring a heavy file under a CMS upload cap without losing resolution
  • <strong>Mixed-source batches</strong>: 16 images of different sizes, each kept at its own pre-made dimensions
