This thread will be to list pages whose pics are fine as is but are needing quality upgrades, so we don't take up space in the forum with individual threads for them.
Swapping a pic with a better-quality version is a free action, as is swapping a pic with a larger identical version to fit the new image size criteria (800px minimum width). If there are more changes in the proposed swap (e.g. less text, slightly different coloring or crop), however, you might want to post here first.
Resources:
- Reverse image search engines like Google Image Search
, Tineye
, Yandex
, and Bing
are useful for finding larger-quality versions.
- SauceNAO
can locate artwork sources.
- GIMP
(download), Photopea
, and Photoroom
are good freeware for simple manipulations like increasing brightness or removing backgrounds.
Please add pages that need work to the following Sandbox page: Artifacts 'R' Us

I upgraded The Juggernaut's image from here
after seeing the unopened IP thread. The speech bubble is still hard to read (it says "And there's more where that came from..."), but I don't think the text is necessary to illustrate the trope.
Quality upgrade for Series.Glitch

Edit: Swapped.

Third-Option Adaptation is a grainy JPEG; neither half is great, but the bottom half is especially bad.
Cave Johnson, we're done here.Got some serious artifacting on Aoqi Legend's image.
I updated the sandbox; Casa de mi Padre is intentionally made to look like an old movie poster with creases.
Keet cleanupEye Poke's page image seems to have a cursor on it.
The Rosers were red. The Drownies are blue. I know What the Thunder Said. Do you?The image on Funny.The New Order Last Days Of Europe is pretty poor quality.
If the logo's removed somehow, this could make for a good Audience-Alienating Premise picture:

Bumped up the brightness on Dragon-in-Chief
My favorite sci fi enemies are the giant sexy depressed womenJust would like to point out that I corrected the image of Real Dark Matter in Characters.Kirby Dark Matter. For comparison:
Old version:

New version, by yours truly:

The image was taken from the official Kirby Twitter. All I had to do was to crop it out, use GIMP's Color to Alpha to remove the white background, and then perform some final touches, and voila! Perfect pic!
"Ever since the day I was born, I've never once uttered a lie! I'm a virtuous weakling! As pitiful as I am, nobody shows me any sympathy!"
I think that one could use a better pic altogether.
Millennium Actress is a crispy JPG.

Tales From The Tour Bus is also really grainy.

“Now! Let us engage in the art of deduction!”While revamping cat planet to conform to standards, I noticed that the image is grainy.
Once replaced, also replace the one for the self-demonstrating page, the new home for the old contents.
