A friendly commenter @nawba taught me how to find big uncompressed images on Tumblr. Thank you @nawba!! This might not work forever or for everyone but it works well for me!
Right click the image to get the image URL.
Replace “https://78.media.tumblr.com/” at the beginning of the URL with “https://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/”
Replace “_1280.jpg” at the end of the URL with “_raw.jpg”
This should give you an image that’s probably bigger and definitely clearer (less compressed) than what you see on the Tumblr dashboard or on the usual web page.
You can try it yourself with this drawing:
I dislike how Tumblr compresses my images. At least now I can find good copies of my images via my own blog, if not on my own blog. Also it helps when looking for cool wallpaper or background images.
(If I explained this wrong or I’m missing something, please tell me, so I can amend this post.)
