Thumbnail Upscale

Description

This plugin enables upscaling of thumbnails for small media attachments. The default behaviour of WordPress is to not upscale small images, which means
you are never guaranteed a certain size for a thumbnail format. This plugin corrects that and upscales small images to the specified thumbnail dimensions.
This is beneficial in grid layouts where images of different sizes can make the grid malfunction.

Check screenshots for an example!

Important: Your thumbnails format must have the crop setting enabled to be processed by this plugin.

Usage

After you have enabled Thumbnail Upscale plugin, all your future uploaded images will be upscaled.
For existing images, install and run Force Regenerate Thumbnails
This will upscale your existing media images!

Requirements

• PHP 5.2 or higher strongly recommended

Translations

None. The plugin has no translateable strings.

I’ve been using this great plugin for a number of years with no problems. It still works for some images but I have been getting blank images returned. I believe it’s something to do with the srcset parameter WP has introduced.

Works like a charm !

Thanks a lot for this tools ! It works very great with Regenerate Thumbnails plugin ! It saved me a lot of time

Exactly what I needed

If you add a new, custom image size (with crop argument set to 1) in WordPress, and uploaded image is smaller than that size, WordPress will not scale it up (effectively breaking the aspect ratio), which might break your design / layout, that depends on certain image size. This plugin scales your image up first, and then crop it, so you always have all sizes ready.

Muito bom!
