Much better

has like 5% less compression which is barely visible in direct comparison

Original is 1.47mb. OP's is 0.47mb. That's about 3x smaller and it's a significant difference in clarity.

It's fine if that doesn't matter to you, but don't spew shitty info just because you don't care about the difference.

OP's pic was fine, the quality was good enough for what it is, and it only used 1/3 of the space and bandwidth on the server.

"Won't anyone think of the bandwidth of the poor server?"

Screw that, give us the high quality stuff. Shit would almost fit onto a floppy disk. 1.47mb is nothing.

Quality snob* here

Totally fine

*not really, just reverse image search JPG’d images and post originals when I notice something’s ugly

Disagree. One is kinda blurry and the other is crisp and clear. The difference is night and day.

Thats probably your app previewing the image in the post that way. If you open up the file its almost the same.

Downloaded both on desktop, still a pretty significant difference?
