This will make sure that your images (logo’s, buttons, images with text) look sharp on Apple devices with retina displays. When you have for example a logo of 200 by 200 pixels called “Logo.png”, you will need to upload a second image of 400 by 400 pixels called “Logo@2x.png” in the exact same directory. * [Retina.js by imulus](http://imulus.github.io/retinajs/) * [View my other plugins](https://profiles.wordpress.org/wouterpostmanl#content-plugins) ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress 3. Done! ## FAQ Installation Instructions 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress 3. Done! Will this work with images from a CDN? No, we might add this later. What’s the difference between Retina @2x and other Retina plugins? Other plugins may automatically generate the retina version of your image(s). This plugin is much more simple and lightweight and only looks for retina images. If you don’t upload a “@2x” version, the original image will be shown and therefore not look sharp on mobile devices. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5244be7591c1abb878ce17edacb669d0440998f6ec6745cd7b2f82c590227fc8? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[It does what it says.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-does-what-it-says-94/)󠁿 [lesliedeanbrown](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lesliedeanbrown/) 22 December 2021 I had one site where the perfect images plugin failed. This served up those images nicely. It would be nice to develop the plug further so that it creates @2x images( after thumbnail regeneration with another plugin). Because now I have to use 3 plugins to get it to work for new images… ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5958a3737e458998c6fefe9caf49e9ce20571f7ca59563354bc94bbe065e8ebe? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple and Easy](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-and-easy-249/)󠁿 [Do Good Design Co.](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jtnatoli/) 28 September 2017 1 reply This plugin does exactly what it should do and it's lightweight and simple. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/37f1e0eb19a61eda15e3bd10b9791aed305186e71f8bf6bcd6c48fbbb15ac5ad? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-6478/)󠁿 [bstraathof](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bstraathof/) 15 May 2017 Works perfectly!
