I use discord for posting screen captures with my in-game party, but sometimes the file size is too large. Is there any way to reduce the resolution so that the file sizes won't be larger than 7MB? Thanks.
iPad Pro, iOS 12
There is no user setting pre-screenshot to reduce the resolution that I'm aware of. Use a third-party app such as Image Size. After adjusting settings in the app the process is straightforward. You're likely familiar with most of this.
Take a screenshot and tap the thumbnail in the lower left. Tap the share button from the Markup screen that opens. You may need to tap the More icon and set the slider to on for the app from the Activities pane. Tap the icon for the Image Size app.
In the Image Size app tap the share button and then tap the icon for the Discord app.
Add a comment if you wish, select the server and text channel, and post.
Posted.
Here’s another method that doesn’t require a third-party app. It also can be performed solely within the Discord app. It’s done by creating a workflow in the Shortcuts app. There are two workflows to choose from. One gets the last screenshot, converts it to a JPEG and then prompts you to share. The second one prompts you to select a photo or photos from your photo library, converts it or them to a JPEG and then prompts you to share. You can change the JPEG quality by opening the shortcuts in the Shortcuts app and adjusting the slider in the Convert Image action.
Download the Shortcuts app from the App Store if you don’t have it installed. You’ll need to enable the Shortcuts button in other apps and enable the shortcuts to run in other apps. Instructions on this page of the Shortcuts User Guide.
Here are the download links to download the shortcuts into the Shortcuts app from Safari on your iPad:
The sequence of steps for the workflows from within the Discord app:
Share My Screenshot
1. Tap an existing photo in the text channel. 2. Tap the photo. 3. Tap the share button. 4. Tap the Shortcuts icon. 5. Tap Share My Screenshot. 6. Tap the Discord icon. 7. Select a server, select a text channel, add an optional comment and tap Post.
Share My Photo
1. Tap an existing photo in the text channel. 2. Tap the photo. 3. Tap the share button. 4. Tap the Shortcuts icon. 5. Tap Share My Photo. 6. Select a photo or photos. 7. Tap the Discord icon. 8. Select a server, select a text channel, add an optional comment and tap Post.
Is there any way to reduce the resolution for screen capture images?
