This should be incredibly easy to do and i have no idea why it's not on wordpress. You shouldn't need plug ins...

What size do you recommend for blog post and blog post thumb nail? This is where I am struggling with.

my photos that are already in My Media didn't resize, only the images that I upload after adding this plugin seem to be optimized. Is there any way to have it edit all the photos already uploaded without me having to re upload them all?

Does it also work automatically, when user is uploading an image through the front end with JetFormBuilder?

Umm, I'm having a super hard time understanding how to reduce the file size of all my media. I also only want images that are 1024x576 on my website. However, when I use this tool and have those sizes in said plugin if I upload some media that is 1024x1024 it makes the size 576x576 which isn't what I want at all. I'm wanting to have the image automatically go to a 16:9 aspect ration however can't seem to figure out why this isn't working. I also set these sizes inside media under settings for large size, medium size and thumbnail size. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here?

After we resize the photo using the plugin, do we have to compress it?
