800,000+ WordPress sites are already using MetaSlider!

How Do I Fix Poor Image Quality?

MetaSlider will crop your images to the size specified in the slideshow width and height settings. The default size is 700 x 300px. MetaSlider does this to make sure your images look good but also ensuring that your site loads as quickly as possible. If your images are too large for the slideshow area, they will slow down your site.


Image Quality for Full-Width Slideshows

If you are displaying the slideshow at the full width of the page, then these images will be scaled up to fit the browser window. Therefore, if the slideshow is displayed at a width greater than 700px then you’ll notice a reduction in image quality.

To fix this problem:

  • Increase the size in the slideshow settings so it matches the actual display size of the slideshow. If you are creating a full width slideshow we recommend setting this at a minimum of 1024px.
  • Check the images you’ve added to the slideshow are at least as large as the size you’ve specified in the slideshow settings.
