Blurry image on list view in Magento 1.9.2 [duplicate]

Question

Although the images are in very good quality in the product view, in the list view have very poor quality and blurry How can I fix that?

Answer 1

well its a still debatable point for me as well I would not able to find proper solution for that.

But let me give you some suggestion for this

put below code in your img tag src and check if it helps you

 <?php echo $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($_product, 'small_image')
    ->keepAspectRatio(true)
    ->keepFrame(true)
    ->keepTransparency(true)
    ->backgroundColor(array(255,255,255))  
  ->resize($_imgSize)->setQuality(99); ?>

Answer 2

Someone else seems to have experienced similar issues with 1.9.2:

• New products on home page has blurry images after upgrading to Magento ver. 1.9.2.0

There is a setQuality method in the Image helper you can try to bump to see if it helps. The alternative is to modify the GD2 library code OR give ImageMagick a try instead of GD2 as the filter quality is known to be a bit better.
