    Not the OP, but…most instances (including ani.social) auto-convert any uploaded images to webp to save storage space since they are run on user donations. That conversion will impact image quality.

    Edit: Also, this is semi-automated through some post-creation tools by the OP and some of the booru images are really, really big. So, having a reasonably sized version makes sense for the formatting.

      .webp can be lossless, and is often still smaller than .png, but I’m guessing ani.social uses lossy compressed .webp then?

      That’s good to know, will check what my instance does, just in case! Thanks for the explanation!
