How to increase the quality of product photos JPG (Magento 2.1)

Feature request from zhiyicai, posted on GitHub Jul 21, 2016

The JPG compression on Magento 2.1 is very strong, so that the quality of product images get really bad in Catalog and Product view. How can I change the Image compression for JPG's in Magento 2.1 ?

same here, it has been an issue for some store owners since Magento 1. They invest enough time/money to make the images look good but Magento reduces their quality after being uploaded

This should help you guys out I think:

  1. Make sure you have the php extension imagick installed on your server
  2. Go in the Magento backend to Stores => Configuration => Advanced => Developer => Image Processing Settings
  3. Change PHP GD2 to ImageMagick and Save
  4. Go to System => Cache Management
  5. Click the Flush Catalog Images Cache button

Bonus: for Magento 1, you can install the Perfect_Watermarks extension to add the Imagemagick option to your M1 shop.
