This thread is meant to gather information about accessing best possible quality and resolution of images from various sites so that they can be uploaded to Furbooru.
Firstly, when possible always upload images from a file that is from the artist's gallery. Note that sometimes artists upload their work on e621 or Derpibooru themselves and you might even find the best quality there instead of their other profiles.
If you stumble upon some low res image on the Internet it is always best to reverse search for the original submission.
You can do it using Google Images reverse search ("[https://www.google.com/imghp":](https://www.google.com/imghp) ):
and if this didn't help then you can try those:
"
[https://saucenao.com/":](https://saucenao.com/) - general art, including furry or MLP.
"
[https://kheina.com/":](https://kheina.com/) - 40% of Fur Affinty and entire Furry Network indexed
"
[https://derpibooru.org/search/reverse":](https://derpibooru.org/search/reverse) - for MLP themed images only
If you are using Telegram you can try this bot: @FindFurryPicBot
Secondly, fetch the image from a proper url. Exact way to do that is dependent on the site, details are explained below.
Generally **it's best to always use urls copied from download links** and not from clicking on image itself, because images can be displayed only as a medium or low res preview instead of the original size.
+
__**Fur Affinity*+
*__
Fur Affinity automatically resizes all images at first upload to be no more than 1280px in height or width. This can be circumvented by the uploader by using the "Change submission file" option, but most artist don't do that. That means that when file on FA is only 1280 px there is a possibility that a larger version of that image exist on some other site where the artist posts their work, for example on Twitter or dA, it is worth checking there.
Nevertheless, to get the best possible resolution from FA right click on "Download" and copy that link to Furbooru url fetch.
*Classic theme_

*Modern theme_

Copying image url from image itself instead of that Download link will result in a low res image if the image is not opened at full size. It's best to always copy image url from Download link. Correct link will start with@`d.facdn.net@
+`
__**Twitter*+
*__
Images from Twitter are fetched by Furbooru from the post url automatically in the best possible quality. Be wary not to fetch small images from direct urls because you might not get the best possible resolution or get a JPG file instead of PNG ones. Always use post url (starting with@`twitter.com/@`) and not direct links (starting with @`pbs.twimg.com/@`) for fetching.
If for some reason fetching from post url is not working and you have to do it from direct link then read"[this appendix":](/forums/meta/topics/guide-how-to-find-the-best-available-quality-of-images-you-want-to-upload-to-furbooru?post_id=19970#post_19970) to learn how to get the best file then.
+
__**Deviantart*+
*__
Sometimes image fetched from post url can be of lower resolution then what can be downloaded. Sadly images from dA can't be fetched from download link, they have to be downloaded and then uploaded to Furbooru as files.
If there is no download link, then, as explained in"[this Derpibooru thread":](https://derpibooru.org/forums/meta/topics/report-deviantart-high-resolution-images-here-for-updating):
