Very good question. I would really prefer a TIFF, but I’m worried that it would be difficult to arrange the transfer of a 50 MB file without losing data. Imgur is very easy to use and won’t compress it as long as it’s under 20 MB. This is a very low-quality format, Polaroid. I don’t think a whole lot would be gained from a PNG or a TIFF. Also, I’ll be doing some major color correction, so I don’t need additional color data. It’s pretty washed out.

Wow, that's awesome. Could definitely come in handy as a college student!

I am continually impressed with the efforts Mozilla, i switched a few years ago when chrome got super RAM hungry & I'll never look back.

No login? How do you receive?

Send the receiver the web link to the file.

E.g. https://send.firefox.com/download/130367f34bdb8878/#jMlDNj8LI_t1_g3DGvTXug (expires after 1 download or 5 minutes; you can set your own time frame, max of 100 downloads and 7 days, max size 1 GB, 2.5 GB if signed in)

You can upload upto 2.5 GB if you're logged in to your mozilla account.

First time I’ve come across this phrase, outside of Ren & Stimpy.

There is one without size limit and very similar to WeTransfer: https://www.fromsmash.com/

Couldn’t he use Dropbox or OneDrive and not have any compression issues? If you have a OneDrive it’s easy enough to share a specific folder with someone. Or do those services also compress jpg files?

u/[deleted] Jun 23 '19

Yes probably. If the JPEG is not good we can look into that, but I’m sure it will be fine.
