That means easy editing of theme elements with the help of selectable options.

We don't need to create a child theme or edit the CSS file(s) for the customization. Just a few clicks, uploads and text input—and you have made your website unique, well sort-of. At least your colors and your images won't coincide with others. For all these advanced and easy options, visit Appearance > Customize from the admin dashboard. Play around and be your own designer.

Different copies of a single image are made when it is uploaded to WordPress. This allows us to use the different dimensions depending upon how big or small we want to display them. Using large images to display them as small ones is possible, but it wastes bandwidth on both ends and increases the page loading times. So for adding images in posts, it is recommended to have the exact resized dimension that is being shared.

That is why three images are generated of thumbnail, medium and large size. The original image is kept as well. So, effectively you have four total images instead of a single one. That is if the dimensions are large enough to generate all the sizes.

There are different ways to configure these image dimensions for your convenience.
