    Something like:

    // Disable WordPress image compression

    add_filter( 'wp_editor_set_quality', function( $arg ) {

    return 100;

    });

function disable_img_compression() {
return 100;
}

    Im trying to upload web file. im still seeing that the image is getting compressed. 

    Is it because the code mentions jpeg file and im uploading webp file?

    Hi,

    After adding this code, you need to regenerate all the thumbnail image by install this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/

    I dont understand regenerating all the image thumbnails. My apologies. 

    What is this tool going to do about the new images which I will upload? will it resize all my images? i dont want to resize my previous images.

    FYI (just in case) : Im uploading new image after making the changes to function.php and after activating the plugin. but still the image is blured.


    please guide. Highly appreciate your help.

    one thing solved my issue for big images.

    I added following code in function.php file. ( to remove the max resolution cap)


    add_filter( 'big_image_size_threshold', '__return_false' );


    this stopped the wordpress to resize the image. now the image is clear.
