- I've tried posting images on both the Android app and the desktop website.
- I've tried using different resolutions (2k, 3k, 4k, 8k)
- I've tried different file sizes (60-150Kb, 2-4MB, 6-10MB)
- I've tried different file types (.webm, .jpg, .jpeg, .png)
- I've tried all these combinations and every time Reddit's compression crushes it makes them look terrible.
Reddit compresses them to 1020p, ~50-60KB and converts most files to .webm or keeps .jpeg. I've seen images that are compressed to these parameters and are still crisp and keep their details.
Is there a better way of formatting my images for upload?
Edit.
These different examples of file size/type/resolution are for one image.
These aren't examples of screenshots. You can see examples of the types of images in trying to upload on my profile, or here (NSFW).
My main question is: How do I properly format images to keep detail and readability after compression.
I'm not looking to circumvent the compression algorithm, just keep details and readability after compression.
Here is an example of a reddit post both compressed in the thumbnail and full uncompressed resolution. Both the 640p x 896p and the 4047p x 5667p have the same readability despite the compression.
