Media Settings
The Media tab controls how WordPress handles image uploads and compression.
Images
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Disable big image scaling | ❌ Disabled | WordPress 5.3+ automatically scales down images larger than 2560px on upload. Disabling preserves original image dimensions. Useful for photographers and sites that need full-resolution images. |
| Custom JPEG quality | ❌ Disabled (82) | Sets the JPEG compression quality for images generated by WordPress (thumbnails, scaled versions). Range: 1–100. Higher values mean better quality but larger file sizes. Default WordPress value is 82. |
