Will changing image links affect seo?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

There are articles that contain images that are located on the server, if you change the location of these images (they will also be on the server, but in a different way), will this affect SEO?
I need to make sure that the previews of the images are smaller, and not the full image is loaded, so I'm going to create a separate folder and put the previews of the images there and change the links to them, won't this be a problem?

Answer 1

It won't affect it at all. Change calmly.
