A801 has picture sizes of 100 x 100 pixels, which are basically all less than 30kb. Pictures are resized to 100x100 by default if you submit anything greater or smaller.

Your real problem is with the size of the profile pictures on the a801 forum, not their memory size. You may want to consider cropping an important part of your picture or using a better resizer in order to achieve better quality and clarity in your pictures.

Shrinking or expansion in a801 pictures creates more distortion than changing the size yourself.

yeah uh
if you dont crop that picture, it WILL end up in low quality, due to how big it is.
your pfp is ideally supposed to fit the 100x100 and 30kb rule, which, of course, requires you to do some cropping if you wish for it to be in good quality.

is Windows Picture Manager considered as bad? cause it doesnt seem to work for me that well

im sorry but i don't support this, it's just that i don't see the purpose. it might be helpful for some people, but not in my opinion.
i use picmonkey to crop my profile pictures. they have a 100 x 100 "profile picture" option, when you click crop.
they're all always under 30 kb when i save them.

edit// image cropped with picmonkey, btw

Spoilerfor some reason i felt like re-doing your pfp for you. here it is. use it if you wish

Croppig helps a lot and even resizing them
Picmoney helps

i just use the windows snipping tool

Use full picture, then crop a 100x100 square.
Should come out very clean.

30kb is more than enough, I honrstly think it should stay the way it is, so no support from me.

thanks for all the advice, seems like i seemed to understand on how this works.

e: tried picmonkey myself but it didnt quite worked out as i expected but Transloadit seemed to work like a charm for me :)
