WordPress has built-in image reduction. It automatically creates as much as three images of numerous sizes, (thumbnail, medium and huge) based on the dimensions in this sub-panel and WordPress also saves the first image, so you will have a total of four image sizes saved for every image you upload.
The exception to this is WordPress will not ENLARGE an image to these sizes, for instance if the original image is the same size as the thumbnail dimension you have entered then this image will not be enlarged to the medium or the large size dimensions.
The default THUMBNAIL dimension is 150 x 150 pixels, this can be changed towards the size you desire. The check box underneath the size will crop the THUMBNAIL to your exact size. Un-checking the package will inform WordPress to re-size the picture in accordance with the proportional height and width in the original image.
The Medium Size default is 300 by 300 pixels maximum as well as the large size can compare to 1024 by 1024 pixels.
These default dimensions are usually adequate for many images.
Once with the CROP BOX checked and another with the CROP BOX un-checked to get a better idea of how WordPress re-sizes images I'll download the same image twice -. I'll also have an image which is smaller that this LARGE SIZE dimension enter therefore we can see how WordPress handles the re-sizing.
Through the MEDIA >> ADD NEW sub-panel I am going to add a graphic that is certainly 640 pixels by 480 pixels. This is downloaded with the CROP BOX checked therefore the thumbnail will be exactly 150 x 150 pixels because the image is small compared to the 1024 x 1024 pixels for your larger image then WordPress is not going to obtain that larger image available.
The first image features a thumbnail scale of exactly 150 x 150 pixels since the CROP BOX was checked. It has the medium image available but there is no larger image available because the original size was 640 x 480 and WordPress will not enlarge the pictures.
Throughout the second image with the CROP BOX UNCHECKED the thumbnail dimensions are proportional at 150 x 112 pixels as well as the medium image is the same but still no larger image. Re-sizing by doing this does retain a lot of the image compared to the CORP where you can lose some the photo.
Even though default settings are often adequate for most sites you are able to set these dimensions to suite your preferences.
