After inserting a picture into Excel and scaling it to 20%, the properties show up as:



enter image description here



After saving the file and reopening it, the properties show up as:



enter image description here



As seen, the original size of the picture changes to the scaled size after saving.



Is there a way to preserve the original size of the image across file save?

          Keeping all images in full resolution



          This can be changed on a per-workbook basis by going into File -> Options -> Advanced and then scrolling down to Image Size and Quality. Select Do not compress images in file.

          Keeping only some images in full resolution



          Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to do this on a per-image basis, so you will need to manually compress any other images that you don't need at full resolution.



          If you are inserting many pictures, the quickest way to do this is:




          1. Insert all pictures that do not need to keep their original resolution

          2. Save

          3. Insert any pictures that do need to keep their original resolution


          4. File -> Options -> Advanced -> Do not compress images in file

          5. Save again


          If you only have a few pictures, you can alternatively click on the image you would like to compress and select Format -> Compress Pictures.



          Ribbon bar with Format tab



          In the Compress Pictures window, ensure that Apply only to this picture is checked and select the resolution that works best for your purpose.
