Large resized images

  • Hi

    When i upload my compressed photoshop jpg image:
    800 x 800, 60kb.
    It will be resized: /wp-admin/options-media.php to e.g.:
    360 x 360, 67 kb
    So my issue is, that i want the size to be much smaller. Why is it larger then the original image and how do i fix it?

    I prefer not installing any addional plugins and doing the compression myself(not the resizing), since i have had bad experience with kraken, EWWW, ShortPixel, tinypng plugin etc. They all do a fine job, but compaired to the non-wordpress way: tinypng.com and photoshop, i dont see the point in letting wordpress compress my ORIGINAL image.

  • Good day!

    How about editing your;

    functions.php

    file and changing the compression like so;

    add_filter( 'jpeg_quality', create_function( '', 'return 80;' ) );

    Give that a try. ??

    I did what you suggested and used photoshop to get the same filesize, for comparison.
    Other suggestions?

    Ive talked with my host and they do have imagemagick enabled.

    How do i know if wordpress uses gd or imagemagick?

    ImageMagick Engine seem to enable it. It didnt give the result i was hoping for.
    Will be doing it manually instead with photoshop.
