Quality and privacy

Keep a reusable master and record the settings that worked for Instagram.

Create each revision from the master instead of repeatedly recompressing an exported copy.

Before publishing, check transparency, orientation, faces, names, license plates and GPS metadata.

Check before publishing

Preview on a phone-sized frame before publishing. Keep the untouched original until the final file has been accepted at its destination. Platform image requirements can change. The current upload screen always takes priority.
