Just wanted to send a message of appreciation. My boyfriend clued me into imgur a couple months ago, and I've since started visiting reddit as well. I also requested, and have received, an imgur sticker. THANK YOU for what you do.

Why is my image quality reduced?

Axmann8 vor 12 Jahren • aktualisiert von 张未来 vor 11 Jahren • 3
When i try to upload a 2.13 MB image to Imgur, the quality is reduced. Is there a way to have Imgur retain the original image quality? Please explain how to do this, in detail. Thanks.

There are two types of compression for images: lossless and lossy. Lossless compression will reduce the file size without making any visible changes at all. It simply gets rid of unnecessary data that's causing the image to be bigger, but the image will look exactly the same. Lossy compression reduces the size of the image much more than lossless, but it can also change the appearance of the image.

Imgur uses both types of compressions. Every image that goes in is compressed by lossless compression because there's no reason not to. It reduces the size of the images with no downside. Lossy compression is only used when the image is above a certain file size (5MB for pro, 1MB for standard).


So, your image is mostly like experiencing lossy compression and therefore losing a the original quality. You can upgrade to a pro account to avoid this with images up to 5MB.

How often are the stats of the image (views/bandwidth) refreshed?

H>K vor 13 Jahren • aktualisiert von Alan Schaaf (Founder) vor 13 Jahren • 0
How long before the initial and each refresh of the image stats are updated?

It usually takes about 30 minutes, but up to an hour sometimes depending on the traffic.

Multiple "View entire album, __ images total" links

Several links to the same thing, and yes they all work (or at least the random one I sampled). Refreshing resolved it, but nonetheless it could be looked into. Probably just lag. I don't know.

Can we have comment permalinks on timestamp instead of dropdown?

Sushubh Mittal vor 12 Jahren • 0

I cannot seem to copy them without clicking on them. And Opera does not refresh the URL in the Address Bar on clicking on them. Linking the timestamps is generally the standard. Would be nice if this can be done.

Search for comments

Evan P vor 12 Jahren • 0

It seems that the search feature searches for image titles only.  It'd be nice if there was an option to include search for text in comments.  Example:  Someone made a funny comment several weeks ago and I didn't comment or like the image so I can't refer back to it via my profile.  I'd like to search for the comment, and the comment along with the picture would show up.  Brilliant idea and not too hard to incorporate.  I should work for Imgur... :)

Lower Resolution Album Covers via API

Dave Kiss vor 12 Jahren • 0

 When getting the information about an album, only the high resolution cover image ID is made available. I'm using this as a 100x100 thumbnail for the album and it's sucking up unnecessary bandwidth and taking a while to load. Would love to the different links for the different cover sizes.

Account Settings

Michael McGrade vor 10 Jahren • 0
I no longer have a FB account and would like to unlink it to my Imgur account.  I don't see any options to add or remove outside accounts in the account settings on Imgur.  I'd also like to change my email as I rarely use the one associated with Imgur (due to it having been tied to my FB as well).  Please add more options in account settings to make it easier.  Thanks.

For albums, the image_src link points to an HTML file instead of an image file, causing thumbnail previews to fail.

Jon-Pierre Gentil vor 12 Jahren • aktualisiert von Sarah vor 12 Jahren • 0
Facebook (and other sites) rely on the image_src link when generating the "share" preview thumbnails on sites that use Javascript to load images.  This link must be an image to work properly.  It works great when you share an image page, e.g. http://imgur.com/GwQyN, the image_src link is http://i.imgur.com/GwQyN.jpg.  But on albums, say http://imgur.com/a/2GujB, the image_src link points incorrectly to http://imgur.com/GwQyN which is HTML.  It would be great if this could be fixed so that album previews show up with thumbnails!
