      It’s not. I directly linked a 1440x3440 PNG file.

      Instances can create and cache thumbnails for image links, so that clients don’t have to load the full image when it won’t be displayed at full size or to save data. But some apps can’t handle wide aspect ratios and end up fetching a way too low-res file, or don’t display full images even when opening them in their image viewer.

      I’m not sure if you’re being ironic about the image’s 1440x3440 resolution or if you’re getting a thumbnail and mistaking it for what I actually posted.

        All I see on Sync is an extremely lo-res image, smaller than I would even expect for a thumbnail.

        Edit: is my factual statement somehow invalid?

                Google Chrome isn’t screwing it up. Maybe you’ve got some sort of cached credentials on that site or something.

                Edit: wget and curl get the same file, tested from my home server thru a VPN. Is that site being shitty about user agents or something?

                  Unlikely, considering I get the same file across several devices, and use this host regularly with no complaints, and other users are getting the full image just fine.

                  I will change to some other host.

          Hmm… Two different people in this thread who use Sync having a problem with the image. Maybe it’s Sync, because it looks fine to me on Voyager.
