        Not sure if this helps, but I use https://postimages.org/

        Upload your pictures there, then use the CGN image icon to copy/paste the direct image url.

        Working on a phone is aggravating for me, so I use my computer or the "desktop" site on a phone.

          Your pictures are tiny because you're uploading and hosting directly on Calguns servers, and it gets very expensive storing/serving all of that content.

          Site wouldn't be sustainable if everyone uploaded 4 megabyte images, so your image is downscaled to a few kilobytes.

                Your probably right WW.
                I grew up on a rotary phone, so I guess I just gotta try phones first.

                  You can use apps like Snapseed to crop and reduce your image size (dimensions and file size) so they don't get compressed into little pixilated squares.
