  • Works great on new uploads

    This plugin simply disables the new WordPress 5.3 big image threshold function, so it’s super lightweight. It works great on new uploads, allowing to use image wider than 2560px. Thanks!

  • My thanks

    Thank you for developing the Disable "BIG Image" Threshold plugin. For those wishing to display photographs in their original form, the recent WordPress scaling “enhancement” was very troubling. Carter

  • Fixed wordpress bug

    Fixed error: "Post-processing of the image failed. If this is a photo or a large image, please scale it down to 2500 pixels and upload it again."

  • Thank you.

    This plugin is a life-saver, and very necessary for my site where I want full control over image quality + scale. Works perfectly.
