    Hello

    Since approx. 1 month all new images uploaded to the WordPress media are now blurred in the new posts. When I want to insert an image to my post, all images are becoming very low-quality. I uploaded an image to a page, this doesn’t replicate the problem. So the problem seems to be with posts.

    I tried everything:

    • Set Wordpess media files to 0
    • Disabled compression plugin and all plugins
    • Inserted code against Wordpess big image compression
    • Inserted code for Incease image compression

    Anybody can help?

    Thx,

    Victoria

    WordPress adds srcset and sizes to images to serve smaller versions on small screens. Try disabling srcset. 

    add_filter( 'wp_calculate_image_srcset', '__return_false' );

    Add this filter to the functions.php file of your active theme, and see if this solves your problem.
    Also try regenerating all the media files with a plugin, so that the media files will be regenerated to their original sizes.

    Have a good day.

    Thanks very much, @tasnimrizvy ! Yes, it seems to be the WordPress Media Settings. I’m not so firm in changing the code manually, but it seems to be the problem. When I put “Large” in the media settings, the image in the post gets blurred. I increased the “Large” image size in the Media settings nearly up to 2600 px, but no impact.

    Now I found out that the current solution for me is that I put the image Resolution to “Full Size” in the posts. This helps for now. Here is some further info on the same problem:

    You’re welcome @victoriariess ! 😊 Glad to hear that you’ve solved your problem.

    Yes, choosing “Full Size” is usually the best way to maintain image clarity, especially if the theme or editor is scaling images down. Sometimes the “Large” size doesn’t match the actual display size in the post, which causes that blurriness.
