Disabling Automatic Image Resize on Upload in Older Evolution CMS Builds

Older Evolution builds often require a manual tweak if you want uploaded images to stay at their original size.

Some older Evolution CMS builds resize images automatically during upload, which is a problem when editors need to keep the original asset untouched. If a full upgrade is not possible yet, the safest fix is usually to adjust the file manager or upload handler directly.

What to look for

  • upload configuration that forces image dimensions
  • resize helpers called inside the file manager workflow
  • thumbnail and original-file settings that are accidentally shared

The goal is to separate original uploads from derived preview images. Keep the uploaded original intact, then generate previews only where the frontend or manager explicitly needs them.

That approach avoids quality loss and makes later image pipelines much easier to reason about.
