Have you noticed that WordPress creates small images that are a bit “fuzzy” – nothing like the nice sharp original you uploaded?
After resizing an image, the 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 image sharpened feature – it automatically applies sharpening to all JPEG images resized by the WordPress ImageMagick library.
Compatible with all image compression / optimization plugins:
Image sharpening is applied during the WordPress resize operation so the resulting images can still be optimized with any compression / optimization plugin.

<h3>WPSSO TIE Add-on Features</h3>
Extends the features of the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpsso/" rel="ugc">WPSSO Core plugin</a> (required plugin).

<ul>
<li>Enable or disable image adjustments / sharpening for resized images.</li>

</ul>

<li>GD Only</li>
<li>GD and ImageMagick</li>
<li>ImageMagick Only</li>

<li>Enable / disable contrast leveling.</li>
<li>Increase / decrease the compression quality percentage.</li>
<li>Adjust sharpening values individually (sigma, radius, amount, threshold).</li>
</ul>
<h3>WPSSO Core Required</h3>
WPSSO Tune WP Image Editors is an add-on for the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpsso/" rel="ugc">WPSSO Core plugin</a>, which creates extensive and complete structured data to present your content at its best for social sites and search results – no matter how URLs are shared, reshared, messaged, posted, embedded, or crawled.

ImageMagick Sharpen Resized Images

The default resizing method of WordPress (which is the GD library I believe) produced strange artifacts. Switching to ImageMagick totally solved the issue.

A real life saver!

This Plugin is fantastic! Such a shame that the imagick library is so rare in shared hosting. Just installed everything on my XAMPP and your Plugin did a fantastic job. Thanks a bunch for this masterpeace. 

Great Job
