Spark AR: Instagram Filters - Image Compression
Channel: Luke Hurd
Date: 2020-01-18

This quick video covers image compression within Spark AR - why your images are blurry, how to fix it, and more importantly how it all works and why you should take the time to understand it. 

Not only are we covering the common "disable compression" issue, but we're discussing why image compression can confusingly result in larger image sizes - and why sometimes just disabling compression isn't the best answer. 

Image Compression Tools:
TinyPNG: https://tinypng.com/
PNGQuant: https://pngquant.org/
TinyJPG: https://tinyjpg.com/
