The screenshot [1] is not readable for me. Chrome, Android. It's so blurry that I cant recognize a single character. How do other people read it? The resolution is 84x800.

thank you

When I click on the image, it expands to full res, 1713x16392.3

Three tenths of a pixel is an interesting resolution…

(The actual res is 1045 × 10000 ; you've multiplied by 1.63923 somehow…?)

I agree,

But it’s what I got when I went to Inspect element > hover over the image

Size it expanded to vs real image size I guess

Pixels have been "non-real" for a long time.

In some contexts. In this context (a PNG), they're very real.

This context is the moreso the browser, complete with it's own sub-pixels, aliasing, simulated/real blurring, zooming, etc.

But file-format context, yes, PNG, BMP, and TFF are the real lossless image kingpins.

When you open on phone, switch to "desktop site" via browser three dots menu

Yes, that works - the page reloads with postimg.cc UI and clicking the image opens full resolution.

Click on it for full resolution

I didn't work until I switched to "Desktop Site" in the browser menu, as a sibling comment suggested. Then the page reloads with various buttons, etc. Until that just the preview image not reacting to clicks.
