I’m using imagepipe from fdroid, into webp format, keeping aspect ratio. Most of my posts don’t need high res imagery anyway, just something to get the message across. What do you use?

At one point I was searching for a way to compress pictures in bulk while still conserving their readability, and I found this app, photo compressor and Resizer. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.photocompress.photoeditor
It has many downloads, but just in case (because it doesn’t need it) I disabled Internet access to the app.
The size reduction is huge while still keeping a lot of the quality (it is also possible to chose a target size).
By default, the picture looks like it was taken with an older device with lower quality. However it still looks good enough. Not sure how to describe it.
On a picture of my car, it went from 4.8mB to 428kB. I can see most of the useful detail and identify most of elements in the picture. However some individual leafs or reliefs on some berries in the background or side are harder to see, or lost.
For the rest you can also put the pictures on a specific hosting website, and then just paste a link.
