I upload the images to a 3rd party (Freeimagehosting.com or imgur or postimages - although that last one can render blurry images) and then people can see them. Have you tried those? :)

I’ve tried but I don’t have enough storage on my iPad for most memes. The files are often huge.

I wonder if I can help.

The files could probably be smaller. Images are saved to larger formats when people are using them for print purposes (higher resolution). For example, a large .JPG file can usually be saved to a lower resolution for use on the Internet. Files displayed on computer monitors can still look great at much lower resolutions than print.

You can compress files online here: https://resizeimage.net

I cropped a little off one side of the picture and saved it to 90% of its visual size. I chose the JPG file format near the bottom of the page and clicked the “Resize” button at the very bottom (left side) - this reduced the file format from 9MB to 1MB. Might that help? Not sure where the size limitation hits you hardest - would it be impossible to upload that file from your iPad in the first place?

I’ll put the meme I used to experiment on that website in my next post so I don’t have to add HTML throughout my comments here. :)

PS: More websites that do this kind of modification to files below
