When I upload pics from my pixel 10 in Chrome, the file is being drastically compressed. Most recent one was 5.79 MB on the phone, and 241kb on the upload. And looks like crap.
 
Thanks for letting me know. I had to do a lot of updates last week, so maybe that affected something.

I think it started doing it when I switched from an iPhone 17 to a Pixel 10 back in August. I assumed it was a device issue, but I think it might be a file size or type issue.

I tweaked a few things during an update the other day. The server automatically resizes images when you upload them. I changed the engine to one that should yield higher quality, changed the maximum size from 1000px to 1500, and told it not to compress them as much. I can also switch it to use webp instead of jpg, but that has compatibility issues with older devices.

It generates 2x images for retina and other high res devices, but I'm not sure what triggers that, or if pixels will even request those files.
