It seems that WordPress Media Library is compressing uploaded jpeg images by default to 90% of their original quality.

While this is done in order to save your hosting bandwidth sometimes it doesn’t work that good especially if your website is oriented to selling or re-selling images(for ex. a designer website or a photography website).

Requirements

  • WordPress 3.0 or higher.
