Coma:
is that intended?
Haha, nope.
It is also doing it for compound words like Titan ic (thanks @Zwack ) that I was already aware of
NExT was the obvious one it was going to happen with, so I have also asked about being case sensitive.
You guys are my Guinea pigs whilst I try to make some mods, so apologies if it is throwing off your posts vibe.
I had overlooked the word exac t for xAC , so I might remove that, like I have done for the NExT until a fix / patch comes through.
Also, the word Titan ic, I didn’t think would be used much… Unless somebody was being a Titan ic dick
Luckily if it is a phrase, it is smart enough to do it correctly.

Have you tried Roscos solution
Since I posted this yesterday (in the wrong thread naturally…), I’ve been obsessing a little over trying to cram as much data and as best a photo as possible on a limited size NTAG. Classic hacker pursuit: there isn’t nearly enough enough space on an NFC tag for a decent vCard photo, so I just had to do it
Yeah I’m properly impressed by the quality for a half kilobyte image.
I didn’t think cellphones read anything other than JPEG and GIF for contact photos. But then I remembered Android is Google, and WEBP is also Google. I figured it would make sense for them to have Android support it. So I tried, and sure enough… tada!

Could you throw it on a Google drive or something similar and use a url?

Lol specifically no. Reading comprehension
I did consider it but that is a lot of setup and config changes because my linux disto is completely out of disk space with all the IDEs I’ve needed to set up and the software is made for a 800B NDEF not a 7.6kB NDEF

Definitely explore black white reduction (2bit) and then vectorize?

That’s a bummer, it was my best suggestion for you also.
There is this post in his thread that may help a little, talking about changing saturation and file formats, it probably won’t get you were you are going but it might help you down the path
I’ve done some more research and testing, and I found a two ways to increase photo quality even more:
1/ Decrease the image saturation: the end result looks less colorful, but the size of the compressed image decreases significantly
2/ Change file format from JPEG to WEBP. I’ve done tests on a few Android cellphone, and it turns out they all support WEBP natively down to at least Android v5. And boy! is WEBP better than JPEG or what! For the same final size, a WEBP image has a higher resolutio…
Ha, and yeah, I just saw Amals post above, yeah that too…

Did all that between Paint.NET and Illustrator. Ended up looking like the forgotten textures on a break room whiteboard in half life. Ended up converting to B/W and exporting as a PNG then using this conversion site to convert to a webp and got it down to 7.2kB but you could still read the lot number. Attempting to load onto my implant as a vCard now.

Fuck. TagWriter does some compression of it’s own and now it looks like poo again.
Not to throw a wrench in your plans, but does iPhone even recognize a ndef image thru background scan?
If not you’re back to needing to download an app, or it possibly not work for give or take 50% of the phones out there
iPhones won’t accept vCard via ndef :-/

How confident are you of that?
Pretty sure I tried that in the beginning, which is why I had to resort to popl,
You can with an app, but iPhone didn’t background scan it
