But often users of Wordpress do not want their images resized to pre-determined dimensions and some even use FTP File Transfer Protocol to transfer their images. I used to do this for a while then I realized the Wordpress image upload tool could be used to upload images at original width and height dimensions. Obviously this is much better than FTP, as the browser is quicker and easier. Also the Wordpress upload tool is actually quite intelligent especially noting the fact that it organizes uploads into date dependent permalink archives.

Step 1: Browse and Upload

Browse to the location of your image on your hard drive, fill in a “title” and “description” and hit “upload” …

Step 2: Review The Uploaded Image and access the Image Menu

The image should now be uploaded. Click the image with the left mouse button to reveal a menu …

Step 3: Observe the Image Menu That Has Now Appeared

A menu should now be visible partially obscuring the uploaded image. The menu options are:

• Using Thumbnail
• Not Linked
• Send To Editor
• Delete
• Close Options

Step 4: Wordpress Thumbnail to Original Image

Click on the “Using thumbnail” option. This will change the option to “Using Original” …

Step 5: Send To Editor

Now click “Send to Editor“. This will send the relevent XHTML Extensible HyperText Markup Language code straight to the Wordpress editor box …

Final Page/Post

And there it is the final post/page with an image uploaded using the Wordpress Image upload tool displayed using the original dimensions. Beautiful.
