WPSSO Tune WP Image Editors

Have you noticed that WordPress creates small images that seems a bit "fuzzy" - nothing like the nice sharp original you uploaded?

The reason is that after an image is resized, that image must be sharpened - but WordPress doesn't do any sharpening, so the resized image remains a bit "fuzzy" - not what you want for a featured image or shared image on social sites! ;-)

The WPSSO Tune WP Image Editors (WPSSO TIE) add-on provides this missing WordPress feature - it automatically applies sharpening to all JPEG images resized by the WordPress ImageMagick library.

Compatible with all image compression / optimization plugins:

Image sharpening / adjustments are applied during the WordPress image resize operation, so the resulting resized image / thumbnail can be optimized afterwards as usual.
