OBSOLETE - Use Shortcut feature on iPhone to post photos directly from iPhone to FOG

[jonnyrocket]

I’ve seen several comments here on FOG talking about moving iPhone pictures from their phones to a computer to convert and resize them in order to post them here on the FOG. There is an easier way, but it does take a little time to create.

Through the “Shortcuts” App, you can create a one step automation to do this for you. See this screenshot below to see how this is done.
If any are interested, I can do a step-by-step writeup of creating and using this shortcut.

I use Imgur, a image hosting app.  Getting the images posted has been easy enough.  I have not managed to resize the images.  But I don’t spend that much time on these things, so not bothersome.

I’d like to know how to customize the convert photos shortcut like you have Jonny.
I have used it in the most basic way and sometimes the resulting jpegs are still too large.

In the 'Convert Photos to JPEG', tap the > and reduce the quality. You can go pretty low before it's noticeable. Just modify it by stepping down a bit and convert what failed previously to see where the sweet spot is

[member=297]Michael Kellough[/member] I think the “resize” step is what you are looking for. As I have it in my example, this limits any photo to the correct size for FOG posts.  It will force whichever is the longer side of the photo to a max of 1024 pixels. The short side gets reduced proportionally.
