Enfold creating images larger than the orginal

Hey waveseven,
This is due to the default image compression settings, Enfold unpacks the original file and generates new thumbnail sizes without applying compression, resulting in larger file sizes, especially for larger dimensions like “featured”, “featured_large”, and “extra_large”. This occurs because the theme sets the default JPEG quality to 100, which is higher than the typical WordPress default of 80, and the generated files are not compressed during the resizing process.
To change the compression of new thumbnail sizes, add this code to the end of your child theme functions.php file in Appearance ▸ Editor and adjust to suit.

add_filter("avf_jpeg_quality", "avf_set_quality_mod", 9999, 1); 
add_filter("avf_wp_editor_set_quality", "avf_set_quality_mod", 9999, 1); 
function avf_set_quality_mod($quality) { $quality = 60; return $quality;}

For thumbnails already created you will need to regenerate the thumbnails

Best regards,
Mike
