    JPG is a lossy format, so it is always going to be of a lower quality.

    Upload them to a better host. www.tinypic.com

    Some host might reduce the quality due to file size. Else you can try File -> Save for Web

    so i changed my image hosting, and like someone mentioned that sometimes the image host might reduce quality. I think it may be the site I am posting it on, because on the image host preview it looks as crisp as it does in my document, but then when i post it on the site its not as crisp again

    Check to see if it's only on this site that the image loses quality.Post the image as your signature, then right-click> view image and compare the quality to the one in your signature.

    My current is actually higher quality but for some reason GR makes it loss quality(dunno if it still does that but it was about a week ago).
