If the image file size (in KB) is too small, distortions may compromise the thumbnail quality, therefore we recommend increasing the image size until the quality is satisfactory.\n\nTo perform this configuration:\n1. Go to **Store setup** > **CMS** > **Settings**.\n2. Go to the **File type** tab. \n3. Click **Edit** on the `Produto - Thumb` row.\n4. In the display, you can choose the maximum file size for the thumbnails in the **Maximum size in Kb** field.\n\n![File type settings in CMS](https://cdn.statically.io/gh/vtexdocs/help-center-content/refs/heads/main/docs/en/faq/marketing-and-merchandising/why-is-the-thumb-image-of-poor-quality_1.PNG)\n\nTo learn how to improve the quality of any image from your store without compromising the page load performance, we also recommend reading the article [Improving the performance of product images](/en/docs/tutorials/improving-the-performance-of-product-images/)."}
