It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/thumbnail-upscale/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1207035) # Thumbnail Upscale By [Stanislav Khromov](https://profiles.wordpress.org/khromov/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/thumbnail-upscale.1.1.zip) * [Details](https://frp.wordpress.org/plugins/thumbnail-upscale/#description) * [Reviews](https://frp.wordpress.org/plugins/thumbnail-upscale/#reviews) * [Installation](https://frp.wordpress.org/plugins/thumbnail-upscale/#installation) * [Development](https://frp.wordpress.org/plugins/thumbnail-upscale/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/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!](https://wordpress.org/plugins/thumbnail-upscale/screenshots/) 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](https://wordpress.org/plugins/force-regenerate-thumbnails/) This will upscale your existing media images! ### Requirements * PHP 5.2 or higher strongly recommended ### Traduccions None.

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. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ed541c63ad98d94ff8a45f5adbf9f1c0a7776a98e3e8b3021e757dfe5b2ffd17? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works like a charm !](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-like-a-charm-1297/)󠁿 [deimz](https://profiles.wordpress.org/deimz/) July 25, 2018 Thanks a lot for this tools !

This plugin scales your image up first, and then crop it, so you always have all sizes ready. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/67cf250f938fd84d0d95ed16c31cccb81fe56e5b42dfd0e594dfb33222958d3d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Muito bom!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/muito-bom-413/)󠁿 [Samuel Arendt](https://profiles.wordpress.org/chryso/) April 26, 2017 Excelente plugin e trabalhou corretamente com o plugin de redimensionamento Regenerate Thumbnails!
