<p>Deactivate the WordPress default image compression which got introduced with <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/jpeg_quality/" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress 2.5</a>.</p>
<h3>Purpose</h3>
<p>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.</p>

Image Editor by Pixo


This is a really neat plugin, with the features my client wanted...but even at full quality, the end result images were not really that great. 


The quality of images could be better

Replaces the default image editor in wp-admin with more powerful one - Pixo. It can also be used in the front-end.
