Low quality images and graphics when unploading

  • Hello everyone,

    I have troubles with photos and graphics on my WordPress. On my local sever my uploaded pictures are sharp, but as soon as I upload them the quality of the images and graphics become blurry. Why?

    My technical terms are:
    – I work on a Mac, I use Safari, Chrome and Firefox
    – photos and graphics in jpeg (png doesn’t make a difference)
    – I resize my pictures manually (2560px max width and no more than 100 MB) thus no automatic resize of WordPress
    – and I am not the administrator of the WordPress and I have no access to plugins.

    I have tried many things but nothing seems to work… Could it be a problem of either mac screens or systems?? Because others that look at our pictures from an external computer see our images crisp and sharp / and others that upload their pictures dont seem to have troubles with blurriness of their pictures.

    If anyone could help me that would be very much appreciated! Thanks!

    So you’re saying that for a particular image on the site, it looks blurry on your Mac, but when viewed externally from a different computer, it looks fine? Then yes, it’s likely a Mac/browser issue, but the root cause may still be within WP. Maybe due to Retina display which requires much higher pixel counts. It sounds like adequately large images are available, but the browser may not be requesting the right sized image. Most img tags list a series of possible image sizes, letting the browser pick which is best for its display/window size. If it picks a “normal” size for the situation, it will look a little fuzzy on Retina.

    But then the browser should know this and request an appropriately large image. Check the related HTML of the image. Perhaps appropriate sized images aren’t listed in the srcset attribute even though they may be available on the server.
