I have an image exported on lightroom mobile I noticed did not look equal to my straight out of camera jpeg. It was blurry. I edited the raw file to match the jpeg and exported again and still not as sharp. Then I tried exporting on desktop and sending to my phone on dropbox, and voila, the image is sharp! Attached are two screenshots of the bird image, notice the eyes are more pixellated on one.

Settings for mobile export:

- Export as:

- JPG, dimension 2395 pixels (same as cropped image), 100% quality.

IMG_7080 is the lightroom mobile export.

IMG_7081 is the desktop export.

Hey, @Celestial_introvert1969. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll help you figure this out.

What settings do you use to export the image from Lightroom? Does this happen when you export a specific set of images?

Try this in Lightroom on Mobile:

Create a test album in Lightroom and add some of these images.
In the Lightroom view, click on the album dropdown menu > Album Name > three dots on the album.
Select 'Store locally' (the third option in the screenshot).
Use this album to export your images.

Let me know if this helps. Thanks!
