Just load your local file in your browser (File>Open in Firefox, or drag to Firefox/Chrome). If it OK there on not on the web site then either:
After making adjustments to an image can I view it as it would be seen on a webpage, or, must I upload it to a site to complete the test?

Ps. I am using gimp 2.8.10 under kubuntu (14.10). Would you advise installing version 2.8.20, or, is there little difference between the programmes? My pc is a Dell Dimension E520, 1GB RAM, Pentium D (2.7GHz).
- The file has been reencoded by the website. This is not uncommon for large websites (Facebook...) and of course usually the image takes a beating in the process. Just save the image again from the web page and compare to your original file.
- The HTML that includes the image enforces a size that is slightly different from its native size making the browser rescale the image on the fly. This is confirmed either by inspecting the HTML source or by making the browser open the image all by itself, which should restore it to is original size and quality.
