Profile Picture Compression

Hi,

It seems that BuddyPress is compressing profile pictures on upload. We need quite high quality pictures for the design of our site. Is there a way I can change this?

Thanks
Jake

you can define the avatar image size https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/guides/customizing-buddypress-avatars/

Thank you! However, that still doesn’t solve the issue. On uploading the images are still being massively compressed. For example a 1.6mb image is going to roughly 155KB. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi @jakeward
I think image compression is a function of wordpress itself so you could try
add_filter('jpeg_quality', function($arg){return 100;});
and then the other suggestion above combined may help. This code would only affect new uploads.

Thank you! I came across this during some research also, but it didn’t seem to have an effect. The quality is still shrinking right down.
