Would you like to remove the default image compression that WordPress applies to your uploaded images? WordPress automatically applies image compression to each image uploaded to your site.
This tutorial will walk you through how to turn off image compression with the use of simple code snippets.

Adding the code snippet
To remove WordPress Image Compression, you’ll need to add the following code.

Note: Any image that was uploaded before enabling this code snippet will need to be re-uploaded to have the compression removed.
