    Hello ??? ?????? ?????

    As you also sent in a direct question to me about this, I would refer you to that as it’s more comprehensive ( and since I will probably just say the same thing).

    1. You usually want to keep the original for backup. The remove original option is for images that are converted from JPG to PNG or vice versa
    2. No, once it is generated, it’s yours to do with as you like.
