  Hello,

  Just created a gallery using the thumbnail grid option, and the images turned out pixelated.
  My images are 1280px wide, I’m using Safari and Chrome.
  They look fine when I use the mosaic tiles in the WP gallery, but once I switched to thumbnail grid, they turned out pixelated.

  Here’s the page in question: https://shotbykat.wordpress.com/2014/08/03/in-the-mood-for-love/

  Any advise?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi evergreendazed,

  Have you tried deleting the gallery and then adding it in again?
  I would start there and see if it fixes things up. Make sure you choose the number of columns you want with the thumbnail grid gallery.

  Let me know if that fixes it up for you.

  Hi there,

  I have tried that, didn’t work.

  My monitor resolutions are 2560×1440 and the larger images don’t load properly on both Safari and Chrome.
  This is what appears on my browser:
  https://shotbykat.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/screen-shot-2014-08-03-at-3-05-35-am.png

  My thumbnails (featured images) are the same as my larger images. They’re 1200×800 wide, please see this screenshot for my gallery settings:
  https://shotbykat.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/screen-shot-2014-08-03-at-3-04-52-am.png

  The only way for the images to look properly is to make it 3 columns, even 2 columns look pixelated. But then 3 columns would make the images too small, and I don’t want that.

  Is there a way to fix this?

  I’m glad you were able to get it working. Can you let me know what fixed it so I can keep it in mind or if someone runs across this issue by searching the forums later on?

  Thanks.

  Hi sandy,

  It was solved by changing the Image Sizes in the Media Settings.

  Thank you for helping me out! :)
