SMNTCS Deactivate image compression
by Niels Lange on WordPress.org
Deactivate the WordPress default image compression which got introduced with WordPress 2.5.
Purpose
By default, WordPress compress every uploaded image by 90%. In combination with other image optimisation tools, this can lead to pixelated images. This plugin deactivates the default image compression to avoid this issue.
