Why Are My WooCommerce Product Images Blurry?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 9:46 pm

If your WooCommerce product images are blurry, it is most likely due to one of the following reasons:

1. The image resolution is too low

When you upload an image to WooCommerce, it is automatically saved in three different sizes: thumbnail, medium, and large. By default, WooCommerce uses the thumbnail size for products on the shop page, and the medium size for product single pages. These image sizes can be changed in the WooCommerce settings.

If you have changed the image sizes and your product images are still blurry, it is most likely because the image resolution is too low. Images with a low resolution will become blurry when they are resized. The best way to fix this is to upload images with a higher resolution.

2. The image has been stretched

Another common reason for blurry product images is that the image has been stretched.

This can happen if you change the dimensions of an image in the WordPress editor without changing the width and height in the HTML code.

PRO TIP: If your WooCommerce product images are blurry, it is likely because you have not set the image dimensions correctly. When adding images to your products, make sure to set the width and height to the correct values. If you are unsure of the correct values, you can refer to the WooCommerce documentation.

To fix this, you need to change the width and height of the image in the HTML code to match the new dimensions of the image.

3. The image file is corrupted

Corrupted images are another common cause of blurry product images. This can happen for a number of reasons, such as an interrupted internet connection when uploading an image, or a problem with the server where the image is hosted.

The best way to fix this problem is to delete the corrupted image from your server and upload it again.

Conclusion:
There are several reasons why your WooCommerce product images might be blurry. The most common reason is that the image resolution is too low. You can fix this by uploading images with a higher resolution. Another common reason for blurry product images is that the image has been stretched. To fix this, you need to change the width and height of the image in the HTML code to match the new dimensions of the image.
