If you are the one linking you can just grab the URL for the image file directly. If opening the website to do that is your problem... good luck I guess Lol

I linked the image file url, but checking on my phone, it redirects to the bloated page instead of the image. Loaded just the image on my desktop though.

  On mobile they also default to serving resolutions that are completely unusable a lot of the time. I find myself going to desktop mode for anything with text on it.

    Ah yes, that's another major problem. I couldn't see anything on the screenshot. So far I always assumed the poster uploaded the wrong resolutionm.

    What you can do is change the URL parameters to get a workable resolution (though honestly using desktop mode might be easier, I didn't know that it gives you a higher resolution!). Here's a direct link that I got from a comment above that you should be able to get if you press on any imgur image and select "open image": https://i.imgur.io/4clqUdj_d.webp?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium https://i.imgur.io/4clqUdj_d.webp?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&f... I just remove the shape parameter entirely, and add a 0 to the maxwidth (seems like it can take any number there, but it will just give you the highest available resolution). The fidelity arg I'm not sure about, but it might have to do with compression? I haven't seen a huge difference changing jt.

  You can link the image without the "i" subdomain and it will redirect to the direct image. eg: https://imgur.com/4clqUdj.jpg https://imgur.com/4clqUdj.jpg (picture of a cat) since the traffic appear to come from the main domain to them, it does to redirect back to the html page.

      Yeah, they redirect to that website which has all these issues. The back button hijacking (it doesn't work on that site in Chrome) is the most annoying one.

      oh, thanks. looks like it does not work on mobile.
