Not sure that I'm only facing this issue !? Whenever I upload some screenshots from my PC for my post, It was looking blurry during the preview and after the publish.
If you look at my recent post Azure Synapse Analytics(workspaces): Deploy and Debug - Part 1 most of the screenshots are blurry. I tried with many different ways to get screenshots like snipper, Snagit nothing seems to work for me.
Eg.,
Some of the screenshot like

Hi @jayendran
it looks to me that the original uploaded pictures are also blurry:
just a little bigger.
Could you provide a link to the original images, maybe stored somewhere else for comparison?
Thank you!
Hi @rhymes,
Thanks for your response. I think i found something.The url is appending with something like
res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/im... before the actual uploaded image which makes the blur ? No idea
Image uploaded in stackoverflow:
i.stack.imgur.com/PCVgI.jpg
Actual Image uploaded in dev.to:(which is good)
dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/...
But actual url which comes when we click the URL:
res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/im...
I don't think it's blurred, the original image is already low quality for me:
The one uploaded to our S3 is the same image, we only remove EXIF data which in this case is not present.
I think what Cloudinary is doing is delivering automatic format quality which, to a low quality image resized to 880 pixels will result to even more compression artifacts.
Is there a chance you can upload a higher quality image?
I've used a snipper and Snagit tool from my windows 10 machine. Not sure how to take higher quality images with that. Do you know any tool or method which can help to take higher quality images screenshot from the desktop?
On the other hand, Is there a way to skip or tell the Cloudinary to don't format the quality? since it is already on low quality?
Windows 10 has its own screenshotting builtin capabilities: support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4... (in addition to Print Screen I guess)
Not at the moment. We use q_auto to let Cloudinary algorithm choose the quality, which also depends on the client.
I tried both with
q_autoandq_auto:bestand despite the files having different sizes I can't see any difference in the image quality:
