# Shrink photos when you attach them

When you attach a photo, XgenPlus asks "Do you want to convert your image to small size?" and shows a preview. Choose **Small Size**, **Medium Size**, **Large Size** or **Actual Size** under **Compression Options**, then click **Attach & Convert**. Click **No! Thanks** to attach the photo as it is.

## How to shrink photos when you attach them

2. In the dialog, check the preview.
3. Under **Compression Options**, choose a size.
4. Click **Attach & Convert**, or **No! Thanks** to keep the original.

## When to use it
