I've noticed for a while now that no matter how sharp my photos are on my phone, when they've been uploaded to cyclechat and been squeezed to death for server space that they are blurry.
Any way to fix this? Too many perfectly good pics are being well and truly spoiled because of it.

Is that really happening?

I have uploaded a few pictures recently and they look okay to me, but I normally resize them first and upload smaller versions. Let me try with a big picture and the smaller one that I made from it...

1,000 x 652 pixels
490035


4,000 x 2,248 pixels
490036


Hmm, I think the original HAS been slightly blurred... I suggest that you try resizing your pictures to (say) 1,000 pixels wide before uploading them?

Hi!
I can't say I've noticed this with my own pictures: I don't resize them, but I tend to edit them first on my laptop, don't know if this makes a difference.
I'll put this issue to the attention of @Shaun.

It's when reading text that it's most noticeable. If a roadsign is perfectly legible on my phone before uploading, it's usually very hard to read after uploading. Like jpeg compression gone mental.

I've not had a blurry one, edited, resized, or not.
Most of my pics are taken and uploaded via my mobile.

@Vantage is this still an issue? Some of your most recent photos seem to be okay.

The forum software will resize any images that are wider than 1200 pixels or taller than 900 pixels, with a commonly used on-server compression method that is balanced in favour of retaining image quality (although it can depend on the subject matter).

Do you know the dimensions of the original images from your phone camera?

Hi shaun.
I haven't noticed any issues lately but then again I don't think I've uploaded any pictures containing text. Those are the ones that show up the blurry/fuzziness most.
The phone is currently set at 20mp/5120 x 3840px/5.77mb before any outside compression happens. It looks like the forum software is doing quite a bit of squishing to my pics going off those numbers :blush:
