File compression (When it would otherwise fail)

Feature Request

Hello!, this request is submitted based on my experience posting to Bluesky and the support thread. I wanted to make an actual feature request for tracking.

When posting large images to bluesky, the upload can fail due to the size.

Miki advised via email they were considering adding optional compression, I would like that feature as well!

That said, with this implemented, can we get a warning about images being too large for a platform?

For optimal end user experience I think it would be really nice if we knew we needed to compress the image instead of posting, failing, then re-attempting posting and compressing the image.

Thank you for your consideration!

    Good news, this is already handled automatically!

    Oversized images are auto-compressed to each platform's limits at publish time before upload, so a file that would otherwise be rejected for size still goes through. This runs across the platforms (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Threads, Bluesky, Reddit, Telegram, Google Business, and more). No setting needed.

    Thanks for the request!
