Finally!

Good to know: in Google Photos, you can now downgrade your previously saved as 'original' quality photos to 'high' quality to stay within your storage quota.

Downgrade previously uploaded photos from “Original quality” to “High quality”

When users choose to backup their photos and videos to Google Photos, we allow photos to be uploaded in two ways:
“Original quality” (large file, full resolution). These photos count against a user’s Google storage quota.

“High quality” (smaller file, compressed file). These photos don’t count against a user’s Google storage quota.

If a user joined Google Photos and selected the “Original quality’ setting for their photos, but changed their mind, they could have future media backed up in “High quality”. However, for media already backed up in “Original quality” before then, users were in an awkward state: they had no way to downgrade that media to “High quality”.

With this update, users will be able to downgrade previously backed up photos from “Original quality” to “High quality” by visiting http://bit.ly/211fh3b from their computer and clicking ‘Recover Storage’.
