Title: Image quality changed Last modified: April 16, 2020 --- # Image quality changed * [kuul13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kuul13/) * (@kuul13) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-quality-changed/) * Hi, * I installed this plugin yesterday and i am happy the way it made my website load faster with images. I am a photographer, and I have lot of high quality images to showcase. * But, the image quality has a difference. I have seen that the before and after image quality changed. I am attaching an example of an image from my homepage that changed after the plugin optimized the images. * Image Before Optimization: [Original](https://imgur.com/fdP8ZR3) Image After Optimization: [After Optimization](https://imgur.com/uBvxBrT) - This topic was modified 6 years, 5 months ago by [kuul13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kuul13/). - This topic was modified 6 years, 5 months ago by [kuul13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kuul13/). * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fimage-quality-changed%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * [ninostar78](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ninostar78/) * (@ninostar78) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-quality-changed/#post-12687751) * What kind of compression level did you use? * Thread Starter [kuul13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kuul13/) * (@kuul13) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-quality-changed/#post-12689659) * Whatever was the default, i think 92? As I said, i have lot of high res pics to sell. * Plugin Contributor [reSmush.it](https://wordpress.org/support/users/resmushit/) * (@resmushit) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-quality-changed/#post-12692583) * Hi [@kuul13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kuul13/), * I’m very surprised of you result as it seems your pictures has been cropped and a saturation effect has been performed, which is absolutely not a process managed by our API. * I’ve tried to reoptimize your original picture [http://api.resmush.it/ws.php?img=https://i.imgur.com/fdP8ZR3.png](http://api.resmush.it/ws.php?img=https://i.imgur.com/fdP8ZR3.png) and it went well, without any visual difference. * Don’t you have another plugin installed on your WP website, which can alter pictures? * Another advice, for landscapes/real photographies, you should use .JPG instead of .PNG. With a good quality level you should not see any difference, but file size will be far better in JPG. * Cheers, Charles * Thread Starter [kuul13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kuul13/) * (@kuul13) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-quality-changed/#post-12695109) * No, I have no other image optimizer plugin installed on my wordpress site. I had all my original pictures uploaded in jpg and not png. And the image in question was showing up perfect until i installed `resmush` and optimized it. * What do you suggest? Should i delete my picture and upload again to see what does it do? I am worried, if it does for other pictures as well? * I always upload a high resolution jpg to my website. * [Maximus Light](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maxshock/) * (@maxshock) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-quality-changed/#post-12718662) * Not sure if its still true in WP5 but WordPress itself compresses images (at least JPG). * That what might be happening before image is sent to reSmush.it. * Plugin Contributor [reSmush.it](https://wordpress.org/support/users/resmushit/) * (@resmushit) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-quality-changed/#post-12762449) * Hi [@kuul13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kuul13/), * As I said, reSmush.it is not able to crop or modify the colors/saturation of pictures, as it’s not implemented in the API. However, the only idea I have about your issue, is that, when the WP plugin optimizes pictures, it will regenerate all your thumbnails. I won’t be surprised if you apply picture operations, that can alter your pictures. Have a look at /wp-admin/options-media.php, maybe you’ll find something ? * Keep us in touch, Cheers, Charles * Plugin Contributor [reSmush.it](https://wordpress.org/support/users/resmushit/) * (@resmushit) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-quality-changed/#post-12844637) * Hi [@kuul13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kuul13/), * With no feedback from your side, we will close this thread in the next few days.
