  Hi, my blog is all about painting boardgames miniatures. It is very important for me to be able to display my work to its full effect, but the high compression rates (now 82% I am told) has been greatly affecting my image quality. Is there a way for me to change the image compression rate on my uploaded images?

  Hi there:

  Our Image CDN is enabled by default on all WordPress.com sites, and there is no way to disable it.

  The Image CDN resizes images to the size they actually display on your site, and does compress them to help ensure your page loads as fast as possible, but that should not affect the quality of your images in any way. And you can still link your images to the media library URL so someone can view the full size image in their browser when they click the image.

  I hope that helps!
