I want to post more higher quality compressed images, are there other ways to compress an image for the Gemini protocol without messing up the quality? I also use Optimazilla's image compressor since...a long while I think.

Look at the photo areas here -- we've had some nice looking 100KB jpegs. That limitation is for this bubble instance, I don't think the protocol limits you at all.

Okie dokie, thank you so much!
If you want to reduce the filesize of your jpegs, you can use 'jpegoptim -s' to remove all extra data from the jpeg such as GPS coordinates and thumbnail.
For PNGs you can start with 'optipng -strip all'. PNG size optimisation is a fun rabbit hole.
If you want to you can reduce the number of colours and start using positioning based dithering as a different way to reduce the size. It gives a cirtain style that you either like or not and that is okay either way.

Thank you, I'll keep this in mind, I'll mostly save my png drawings into Jpegs and resize them

I usually put it intoi Gimp and then export, playing with the image quality until it fits.
