Horrible resolution of image

Hey everyone, trying to upload an image for a map, its 1680*1680, jpg-compressed and 495 KB(!!!!) small. When I upload it, it looks like ass, probably even worse. What am I doing wrong and how should I optimize further to get a 495kb file displayed properly? lol

I don't know if this is how you tried to that but this how i upload and set my images: 1.upload image and check pix size 2.drag the map to the map layer 3.right click on the map that u drag to the page, than advance>set dimensions 4.Write the size of the image size in pix, and if the image is in good quality this should work.

Thanks, tried just that, still not better, cant even see the 4 px wide outlines of the tiles, just a blurry mess. Can I check pixel size somewhere after uploading? Feels like roll20 shrinks the file down to some 512*512 size or something.

Yea, when I upload it in small tiles it actually displays fine. Disappointing as fuck, to say the least. Guess I gotta do some image tiling and puzzling for the next hour.

Sometimes when I switch to a map I'll see a low res image for while until the higher res image fully loads, where the image suddenly "pops" into focus. This has taken over 10seconds for me before, depending on the map. If you wait a little bit, does the full resolution finally load?    

Did wait for several minutes, and like I said, it's below 500 kb. Same for my players, they did only see the really low resolution stuff.

Patric, If You follow what Drezs said, and in STEP 3, STEP 4, set the size of your image to 1600x1600 in Roll20, then your graphic should look normal at 100% zoom (compared to 1:1 in your graphics program). If you're looking at 200% zoom, yes it will look degraded (at this resolution settings). If you're comparing your entire 1600x1600 image smashed into a full view on computer screen, against seeing a portion of the image at 100%, there will be an appearance of a difference in sharpness, that's normal. However if you're quite sure those resolution variables are being considered, then maybe there's a bug or it's not fully loading, which it sounds like. I'd say make your graphic LESS compressed (try compressing it to 1MB instead of 495kb), and try that, see if it makes a difference.  Again be sure to test/compare 100% zoom view in roll20, against 1:1 in your graphics program viewer (not 100% in roll20 against 4:1 or 2:1 in graphics program).
