How to stop WordPress from automatically scaling large images, presenting scaled URL in media library with appended “-scaled”

[ad_1]

I searched through this sub, and have tried my Google-fu to no avail. Would anyone be able to help me understand how I can prevent WordPress from presenting the scaled version of the image URL through the media library.

I’m not seeing any active plugins or functions.php additions which would be facilitating this, yet when I upload a large image, 3461 x 1714, I end up receiving a URL in the media library with “-scaled” appended to the end with dimensions of 2560 x 1268.

This scaled version isn’t a configured media size through Settings > Media, so I’m wondering what controls this behavior.
