downscaled

Reduced in size

Downscaled describes something reduced in size, scope, or intensity from a larger original.

A downscaled version of the project has fewer features or ambitions than what was initially planned.

In computing and media, downscaled images or videos have been reduced to lower resolution: The footage was downscaled to 720p for faster streaming.

The term often implies deliberate reduction rather than simple shrinking.
