When normies post screenshots they're usually very low quality. Why?
because they save them as jpegs
Reposts of reposts of reposts through 3g/4g internet which compresses images server side.
>>51485682
this
png doesnt have this problem
>>51485682
>>51485683
It's both of these. JPEG artifacts + places like Facebook re-compressing to save server space.
>>51485659
>hurrdurr I call others normies, I must be special
>>51485659
- saving as jpeg with shitty programs like snipping tool/paint
- generational loss from services saving them again to jpeg
- even more generational loss from reposing the jpeg to other services which compress them again, to jpeg

What do you use on the screenshots in windows?
>>51485869
.png through paint, and on Windows 10 your screenshots are saved to drive/custom folder.

What? No! Don't use PNG for photos! What the fuck!?
Because jpeg compression and cause they're on their iPhail which is only around 720p HD
>>51486228
what should i use then ?
>>51486254
Use JPG for photos, PNG for digital graphics.
PNG is not at all size-efficient for photos, just set the JPG quality higher.
>>51485941
i'm using greenshot myself, but i've heard sharex is better, if only for webm recording. i'm just too lazy to switch.

You fucking people sometimes.

OMG! Are we being emotional normies now!?
>>51485659
Facebook uses rather heavy jpg compression on photos you upload
>>51486305
call me when 4chains supports webp and i'll use it.
>>51485659
they think the compression artifacts makes it look cooler
not even making this up. there's a scientific study on this:

>>51486275
Is size really that big of an issue even today?
>>51486381
It seems cancerous, but I guess it's similar to how some (i.e. old) people love crackling of the records.
Interestingly enough, there are not that many people preferring the sound of the cassettes to that of mp3s and records.

>>51486381
haha, are 128k mp3-fags the new vinyl-fags?
>>51485917
>autism
>>51486522
I thought the whole point of vinyl records was to have higher quality because of the signal being a continuous analog signal compared to non-continuous digital signals.
>>51486488
Vinyl has a hardware advantage (inexpensive method of sourcing sound) over a $200 CD player, so that's probably where vinyl fans started
>>51486340
It does. Just encode a single-frame webm and upload.
This is how webp is going to effectively happen for the next 5 years or so.
>>51486568
if you believe analog being continuous makes any difference whatsoever, then you don't understand how digital signals work
the tl;dr is that a digital signal can product a perfectly smooth output signal as well

>>51486601
>if you believe analog being continuous makes any difference whatsoever, then you don't understand how digital signals work
I know how it all works, just wondering how vinylfags would actually relate to 128kfags because the former would argue about quality where the latter would not.
iPhones take JPG screencaps and don't have a file manager and the users are too stupid to save images properly.
You're seeing 40 layers of iPhone JPG sediment

nope. they take it png. at least my iphone 4 takes them png.

Guys, I do sometimes prefer lower quality music.
>>51486568
The reason vinyl sounds "better" to some people has little to do with the medium; the mastering process is different for vinyl; to accommodate the limitations imposed by smaller frequency range, etc.
I work in help desk. People take a print screen, prints it out, scans it to email, sends that to another person who then print screens that, saves it to file, and emails that to us.
>>51486669
They all take .png Dude just doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about.

oh no its a 1mb screenshot instead of a 500kb screenshot
it's the end of the world
>>51486818
PNGs can easily be 30MB for a photo.
>>51486228
It's not a photo you fucking moron. It's a screenshot.

How do we destroy jpg?
How do we destroy 50x20 50MB gif instead of 4k 10MB webm?
Why can't shitty sites where people sell they digital "artwork" ban "artists" for selling jpgs?
>>51485987
They sent out malware to all their users, their fault or not that's grounds for abandoning them because they're clearly useless.
>>51486228
First of all its a screenshot, PNGs are better for screenshots.
Secondly it is the freaking year 2015, who gives a fucking crap about space?
Go kill yourself you poorfag

I like garage punk, I usually plug my phone into my amp and play it off youtube and turn the volume up fucking loads and everything gets distorted slightly and sounds 10x better, it's like an overdrive pedal for a guitar or something

No you guys don't understand.
They literally take a photo of their screen.
>>51486957
Holy shit those are some scary looking memes.
I might just make a program to simulate this kind of quality decay and watermark and captions sedimentation. Then I'll "normalfagize" all my reaction pics and spread them on Instagram and Facebook to get even worse.
>>51487128
It's awesome, distortions add authentic feel to it. I seriously play music through a pedal sometimes.
>>51487091
Jpg ita easier to decompress, so less memory usage.
>>51486488
M8 you don't live in Australia...
>>51488003
it's the other way around, tard, jpg is pretty complex in compressing, png compression it's mostly plain deflate
>>51487164
iOS 9 actually uploads .png files if the original file is png.
>>51488516
It took them really long.
Why did they even implement converting to jpg?
Does anyone else call .png files 'pings' like jaypeg and jiff?

It's also the first symmetric year in a long time. 1935 is 11110001111. Saying this is the last doesn't really make sense.
>>51490107
In fact, 2049 will be the last symmetric year for a very, very long time.
2049 is 100000000001.
The next year would be 3075 (110000000011).

snipping tool > png / jpeg for photo snippets
>>51486957
It's an actual thing. This shit is done on purpose. I want to leave now.
Screenshots of their 720p iPhone, through JPG compression, then cropped, then uploaded to Instagram where they're compressed even further and get a shitty filter(s). After that they're reposted for months (look at the popularity of Instagram photo downloader apps if you don't believe me), each time being compressed again, possibly getting another filter or two.
>>51486228

>>51490178
>>51486275
fucking autist,god damn I swear sometimes you people
>>51491487
But I like film grain....
wow /g/ is fucking dumb.
although jpeg compression is half the reason why this occurs, people do this so that they're able to repost unoriginal content on their social media without getting blacklisted as adding artifacts aka "pixeling" removes the worry of your account being flagged. that's why you see shitty fb pages with their stupid fucking logo that looks crisp as fuck compared to the image behind it. this goes for IG as well. However, in IG, adding a filter is all you need, but people tend to use the whitest one, then the person who jacks that pic uses the stupid purple orange one, and the cycle repeats.

That actually sounds really cool man, will probably try it out with a delay pedal or something

surely facebook could employ some kind of hashing technology to save server space - even if it's over time/through maintenance tasks.
hash an image, then if a new image matches the hash, check the images and if they're the same, just serve the same file?
