Improve image quality #566

Open megsfulton opened 4 years ago

Is there anything we can do to improve the quality of the image exports?

I didn't expect the text to look fuzzy. These stories were created on a pixel with image compression turned off.

Confirmed this, adding really big text with background color helps make the issue obvious. It's present in the locally saved images as well. cc @mzorz

Another piece of information for looking into this - the image quality for the export to a self-hosted JP site appears to be much higher quality.

That story was created on the same build and same device as the two wpstories.wordpress.com stories.

Another nugget of info that might mean this is a combo issue with the web viewer as well?

In this example the story output appears fuzzy/pixelated but the source image is not.

I believe the main issue here (especially where the quality was higher for a Jetpack site vs a WordPress.com site) was resolved with https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/pull/18609.

However it seems like there may have also been a less pronounced issue with the media being exported from Android from the comments above. I'll leave this open for now and see if we notice any more degraded quality issues.
