All of my images get filtered through convert through convert(1) -quality 90, could that be a reason?

Yes. Sometimes thumborize.me will get the image sizes weirdly. It's there mainly to give you an idea. The settings are the standard ones that come with thumbor. If you tinker with the settings you always get best results. I highly encourage you to try it on your site with different quality settings. Setting up thumbor in your machine takes like 2 minutes. Have a look at the getting started page. If you need any further help please do not hesitate to create an issue and we'll most definitely help you.
