 * Single page/post image of 1200*800px in my website are featured image.Same image
   is displayed in front page but inside a div which compresses image to 350*233px.
   So it shows serve scaled image issue. I want 350*233 px image in front without
   compressing and when the link containing that image opens in single page I want
   it to be 1200*800 without uploading two different image. Is there any plugin 
   to do so and remove issue of serve scaled image in GTMETRIX.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fserve-scaled-image%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * WordPress provides a sourceset of images, so it will provide a list of all available
   image sizes to the browser. It’s up to the browser to decide which to download
   for use.

 * I am not talking about making responsive. I want same image to be displayed in
   front page and single page in different size without uploading twice.

 * Yes, WP can do that. It depends whether you’re manually inserting an image or
   if it’s handled by your theme.

 * I see you have a custom theme, so you should check in with the developer about
   how it codes using the images.

 * If the theme uses a different thumbnail for the homepage / front page than it
   uses for the single post then that thumbnail’s size can be adjusted using Simple
   Image Sizes plugin.
 * If not, it is time to talk to the theme creator. 🙂

 * I donot have developer that can do this work. Can you make it simple and tell
   me if there is another way? You might have seen that under Top trekking in Nepal
   in front page the image I uploaded 1200 * 800 is compressed and it is 350*233.
   When we click that link the single page opens with the actual size. In web server
   there might be an image of 350*233 size created by word-press itself. How can
   I retrieve it dynamically so that in front page it would be 350*233 and in single
   page it displays 1200*800?

 * You need to set the thumbnail size to 350px size and use “the_post_thumbnail”
   in the loop on the home page to retrieve/display that image size.

   another way to do this?

 * See [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_image_size/](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_image_size/)
   to add a special image size to your theme. When you upload images, then the new
   size will be created. You’d have to use of of the plugins that regenerates thumbnails
   to go back and create them for previously uploaded images.
