Image is scaled down

[sasanmoradian]

Hi There,

I noticed when I upload a large image size WordPress is scaling it down automatically.
This is happening only on large scale photos when I am uploading a photo 2880x1920 px. After upload, the new size is 2560x1707 px and this “-scaled” automatically added to the file name.

I tried this in one of my current projects and a newly setup WordPress and I got the same result.

I appreciate it if you can help me to solve this problem.

Thank you,
Sasan

Hello @sasanmoradian and welcome to trac!

This is a new feature in WordPress 5.3. You can find out more about it in the ​Make.Core blog post summarizing the feature.

If you'd like, you can turn off this feature by adding the following code to your child theme's functions.php.

add_filter( 'big_image_size_threshold', '__return_false' );

---

In the future its best to create a thread in the ​WordPres.org Support Forums instead of Trac for issues like this.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that there is also a plugin you can use if that'd be more convenient for you. ​https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-big-image-threshold/
