this rules!! i don't know how easy it would be to add, but if you could get it to add a small border or crop between deep fry iterations, you could get the jpeg blocks unaligned in a way that might look a bit more like organically deep fried images? (i have pondered building a tool like this before and am delighted to see yours -- back in the day i made a javascript image glitcher that would do small destructive edits to images as base64, but it got worse over the years as browsers started dealing with corrupt data in more sensible ways)

oh jeez i love the idea of glitching it via base64 encoding... wow

love the idea of adding shitty organic borders or weird crops. i also think this needs a "max resolution" concept since hi-res images don't look very crunchy downscaled.

i should probably link to the source code on the site https://github.com/wavebeem/the-jpeg-zone

there's no build steps so you can just look at it with view source, but i'm open to pull requests if you've got other features you'd like to add in. happy to call you out in the changelog and whatnot.

https://cohost.org/RubyMayValentine/post/4022282-this-is-deep-fried Hello I used an image of my cat I ran through your software to do manual full deep fry I wanted to share, would it be possible to do this with one software, it would be revolutionary

im not sure I understand your request

Okay so basically what you're calling your software doing "deep frying" is not what your software does, I already explained this in an addition to your post complimenting the software but here it is again: deep frying is not just adding jpeg artifacts to an image, in the past it was naturally caused by a post being screenshot and shared across multiple platforms, often being run through many "filters" on apps like instagram or snapchat, often also being shot with a camera off of a monitor for people who don't know how to screenshot, and the cycle continues, it's a complicated process and I'm wondering if it would be possible to emulate it with one software. I used many different tools and platforms to achieve my final image, not just one. I'm not making a request just wondering.
