By default WordPress uses a default quality of 90%, if you wish to revert the image quality throw the following function in your functions.php file:

add_filter( 'jpeg_quality', 'smashing_jpeg_quality' );
function smashing_jpeg_quality() {
return 100;
}

The below code creates overwrite the_excerpt and will return as many words as you desire.

function new_excerpt_length($length) { 
    return 100;
}

add_filter('excerpt_length', 'new_excerpt_length');

Change the “100” to as much or as little as you want!
