This has me curious. The source for the one I uploaded nearly a year ago is the exact same size but the actual upload isn't. I uploaded via url. Does e621 resize images uploaded via url or not use their full size?

Would be helpful to know so I can ensure that I upload things at the same size as the source.

You uploaded the preview version of the image, that's why. You need to change the url manually, or get a script to automatically do it for you in order to get the original version of the image.

Always look up tag history: https://e621.net/post_tag_history/index?post_id=1228971
Slyroon has habit of changing direct image source to one that's superior when they are tagging posts with BVAS. I personally don't like this, as that's not an actual source to post itself anymore, but technically either way is completely fine. Your originally provided source was differend.

If you want to ensure that you are uploading the file as it should be uploaded, use "upload from URL" and make sure that you have URL for highest quality variation what nicklo linked.
