Works great on new uploads
This plugin simply disables the new WordPress 5.3 big image threshold function, so it’s super lightweight. It works great on new uploads, allowing to use image wider than 2560px. Thanks!
Just what I needed! Works great!

My thanks
Thank you for developing the Disable “BIG Image” Threshold plugin. For those wishing to display photographs in their original form, the recent WordPress scaling “enhancement” was very troubling. Cart
