    How to reduce the size of your data file

    1Password 3 introduced the ability to automatically download preview images for website Logins, application icons for Software Licenses, and other images. These images make it easier to pick a particular item that you need out of the crowd, but they may take up more space than you want. An Agile Keychain with around 30 Logins, 10 Software Licenses, a few Secure Notes, and preview images may take up only 3MB of space, which is hardly any at all.

    But a larger Agile Keychain with over 1,000 Logins, Software Licenses, Secure Notes, and preview images can take up over 60MB. It’s still not much space on its own, but if you store your 1Password backups on a flash drive or Dropbox, multiple copies of your Agile Keychain can add up.

    If you prefer not to store these preview images, you can easily shut them off by choosing the 1Password > Preferences > General option. Under the Login Previews section you can turn off the image previews feature, remove all existing icons and previews, or tell 1Password to download missing icons:
