The image file has been scaled down, does not give me access to the original fil

When you’ll click on any image on the media library, you’ll have a media popup, on right you’ll find media information, there you’ll see “Original Image” with a link to the original image.

True, but I can not add it to the post. I need it to appear in my media library so I can use an image in a post or product, for example.

You must be using any image optimized plugin that is limiting things for you.

Do you have a recommendation?

You need to find the plugin and disable the limitation settings, In my knowledge, WordPress default doesn’t limit anything for images.

I tried to upload now to a site that has no plugins at all, and still has this restriction, it probably does have to do with WordPress ..

Is it related to the topic?

Ok, Maybe for PNG it doesn’t do that, in that case, you can add this code in theme’s functions.php

add_filter( 'big_image_size_threshold', '__return_false' );

it will disable the scaling of large images.

the default value is 2560

if you have to keep the limiting but change the value then.

function custom_image_threshold(){
    return 6000;
}
add_filter( 'big_image_size_threshold', 'custom_image_threshold' );
