Superb plugin!
by narubi·4 years ago
Works well out of the box. I am using it with Shortpixel and Regenerate Thumbnails Advanced, and the thumbnails now look super-clear, yet they are half the size of the original blurry images. This is a must for every product review website.
Just what I needed
by r4ptor·6 years ago
My photos looks awesome again thanks to this. You should look into the settings being reset, if the plugin was disabled. That’s the only downside I can think of.
Really sharpens image

Really sharpens image.
Quality is not like into Photoshop, but default setting works pretty fine.
Great Job
by Team exactly webdesign·7 years ago
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.
Do not deactivate
by viktorhanacek·7 years ago
Reseting values by reactivating plugin is very, VERY bad idea and I believe it’s against all WordPress values and procedures. But to be honest it’s very good plugin. After this review I have to go figure out all the values again.
