quick fly by post to ask a favor! (it won't take long, promise!)

all of the icons i'm making look normal in the program i use but really blurry and low quality on image hosting sites/on dw and i cannot figure out why! trying to rule out some things so if you don't mind, can you tell me whether the icon linked HERE looks like, in terms of quality/definition/blurriness/etc., more like screenshot one or screenshot two?


SCREENSHOT ONE (1)





SCREENSHOT TWO (2)






for comparison's sake, here are two icons i made in june using the same program and same computer and is the quality all of my icons should be but that is NOT happening. *smiling emoji crying a single tear*
 

or do they all look the same to you? 
thank you!! and sorry (or you're welcome) for the tits.

It doesn't look blurry at all in imgur at the link!

(It's so frustrating when that happens, though! I've been struggling with a new program and it kept blurring things up way more than usual when I resized things and it took ages to work something out that didn't mean going to Photopea every time I needed to resize a crop to icon.)

good to know! thank you!

(i would never wish this on anyone but it is somewhat comforting to know that other people have had similar problems! i feel your pain, i used to use pixlr just to crop every image before opening it in photopea because it felt like their crop tool was better! i love photopea and it's a wonderful photoshop alternative but times like these i really miss having ps5:')

Oh, yes, I don't think it's unusual! And, lol, I used to use some ancient editing program that came with my digital camera for years and years to crop because I thought it was better as well!

The imgur link and screenshot 1 look identical to me. Screenshot 2 has the image significantly sized up which might be why it appears blurry? I remember someone else on here was having an issue where they'd accidentally set icons to appear larger than 100x100 on DW so everything they uploaded looked low-quality to them, but not to anyone else. I can't remember how they fixed it (I didn't even know it was an option) but I can ask if you can't find a solution.

thank you!

looking at them now, they all look the same to me too so i'm guessing it's an issue w/ the quality of the images i've been using and/or too much going on in the coloring which can degrade the quality.

they're all 100x100 when testing them so i don't think that's the case here but thank you for offering!

They all look pretty much the same to me.
