Uploading large images won't reduce the quality of the original file. However, if your images still appear blurry, this is usually due to a mismatch between the display size and the image resolution. This article explains how Studio.Design preserves your original image quality, and what to do if images appear blurry.
Point:
With the May 2025 update, file uploads now have a maximum limit of 1 GB per file. Along with this change, automatic compression and resizing of uploaded original images has been discontinued. Originals are kept at their original quality and size.
When displayed, the most appropriate image is automatically served based on the screen size, just as before.
Previously, when you uploaded a large image, the original was automatically reduced in size, which sometimes lowered its quality. Now, originals are kept as-is, so uploading no longer causes any loss of quality.
Tips:
The maximum resolution available is determined by the size of the original file you upload. Since originals are kept without compression, we recommend preparing images at a size that's appropriate for web use. The larger the original, the more it can affect page load speed and file size.
Why images may appear blurry, and how to fix it
Although uploading doesn't reduce image quality, images may still appear blurry for the two reasons below. Check which one applies to your situation and follow the suggested fix.
Cause 1: The display size doesn't match the image resolution
If there's a big difference between the display size of an image (the number of pixels shown on the web page) and the resolution of the original file, the browser will scale the image up or down. This can cause the image to look blurry or pixelated.
Before uploading, adjust the pixel dimensions of your image so they closely match the actual display size.
Cause 2: The image has an extreme aspect ratio
Images with extreme aspect ratios can break your page layout. For example, an image that's 120px × 12000px would fall into this category.
Crop or resize images with extreme aspect ratios to a more standard ratio (such as 4:3 or 16:9) before uploading.
