Image resolution upscaled
Hello,

Hello Megan and thanks a lot for your answer. Actually I am terribly sorry. I wanted to prepare some screenshots and realized, that it is not dropbox who is upscaling the images, but its my browser itself.

Thank you all, Jakub.

Dropbox StaffHey jakub_t, thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to our Community!
The preview of your files on our website can't be changed at this time, but you'll always be able to see the original after downloading it from the website and opening it locally on your devices.
I hope this clears things up and let us know if you have any other questions.
Hello Walter and thank you a lot for your reply.
Can I ask you the reason for this if you know? I do not understand why to upscale those images. I can understand downscaling of large pictures, but why to upscale the small images? It only makes the bandwidth larger and it is unusable to present your images like that if you want to retain some quality. Is there a chance that there will be some update regarding this?
Thank you a lot, Jakub.
