Wix Editor: Changing the Sharpness of Your Images

1 min read
Choose how sharp you want the images on your site. 
Images sometimes lose their sharpness during the correction and uploading process. Sharpening your images increases the contrast of the edges where different colors meet. This tricks the eye into believing that the photo looks sharper and stronger.

To sharpen your images:

  1. Click Settings on the top bar of the Editor.
  2. Click Image Sharpening.
  3. Select a preset: 
    • None: This removes all sharpening from your images. Select this option if your images look too sharp with another preset.
    • Mild: A subtle sharpening preset which is great for softer, natural scenes.
    • Classic: A great all-purpose preset, recommended for most types of images. This is the default setting on your site.
    • Moderate: This preset is good for showcasing products, interiors or landscapes.
    • Strong: Use this preset with images that are visibly out of focus or that contain sharply defined edges or industrial scenes.
    • Max: This is a good preset for images with text in them, like posters and banners.
  4. Click Apply.
Tip:
Try different presets to see which one looks best on your site. If your images look too sharp, click None in step 3.
Notes:
  • By default, all sites have the Classic preset. When you click a new preset, it is automatically applied when the images load.
  • The presets were created using 3 settings:
    • Amount: The amount of sharpening that is applied to the photo.
    • Radius: The number of pixels from the edge of the image that the sharpening affects
    • Threshold: This parameter determines how different a pixel must be from the surrounding area before it's considered an edge pixel and sharpened by the filter.
