Title: Image Quality Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Image Quality * Resolved [Jumblejon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jumblejon/) * (@jumblejon) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-quality-5/) * Hello! * It appears that the image quality on my gallery images has diminished upon upload. The blog images still look great but for some reason the home gallery and the portfolio pages have diminished quality. I am assuming this is because they are thumbnails? * I have installed a plugin you recommended in another post (ImageMagickEngine) to improve quality but they are still not quite at the level we are hoping for. * Do you have any suggestions for how I can implement a fix for this? Thank you. * Jonathan * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/jquery-masonry-image-gallery/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/jquery-masonry-image-gallery/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-quality-5/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-quality-5/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [phoenixMagoo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phoenixmagoo/) * (@phoenixmagoo) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-quality-5/#post-5103371) * Could you please post a link to the site so I can debug it?

It looks like everything is working correctly. Are there any particular images that look bad to you?

You might want adjust how much WordPress is compressing your jpeg files. It’s pretty easy to tell WordPress to not compress your images. * [Here is an article on how to fix the issue.](http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-change-jpeg-compression-in-wordpress/) * Also, please run Regenerate Thumbnails after changing your compression level. * Let me know how it goes! * Thread Starter [Jumblejon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jumblejon/) * (@jumblejon) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-quality-5/#post-5103386) * I will give this a try and set the thread to fixed afterwards.

More specifically, the sharpness goes way down and the color is pretty off as well (showing warmer tons than the original upload). Even with no compression and quality-boosting plugins, we are having no luck. * We have also decreased the image size uploaded which hasn’t helped either. * Do you have any other suggestions? The site is a photography portfolio so the image quality is really important to us!

What other image quality/compression plugins are you using? * Thread Starter [Jumblejon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jumblejon/) * (@jumblejon) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-quality-5/#post-5103506) * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/imagemagick-engine/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/imagemagick-engine/) * Plugin Author [phoenixMagoo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phoenixmagoo/) * (@phoenixmagoo) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-quality-5/#post-5103507) * Alright. Let’s try this: Deactivate the ImageMagick plugin. Make sure you have your JPEG quality set to 100 (as described in this tutorial [http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-change-jpeg-compression-in-wordpress/](http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-change-jpeg-compression-in-wordpress/)) and then rerun the Thumbnail generator. * I apologize if you have already tried that combination, but I really think this should do it. * Thread Starter [Jumblejon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jumblejon/) * (@jumblejon) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-quality-5/#post-5103508) * Trying it now!
