Was looking for Buffer API alternative and was planning to create one myself for personal use; Would give Ayrshare a try instead especially since the free version seems enticing.
Btw, Buffer reduces the quality of the images even when posted via its portal I assume it's due to the size limitations with the social network APIs themselves? If so, how are you managing it?
Interestingly, I noticed that the lower resolution images from buffer produces more click rate on social networks as people are unable to read the content just from the preview! So, now a days I post longer content via Buffer and small content directly.
There are size restrictions on images - for example, Twitter's max is 5 MB. So, Buffer is probably reducing the quality to get the post out.
We decided to give you a message instead that the size is too large. Reducing the size vs quality is often a judgement call, especially if you're reducing by a large percentage. We prefer to give you the info instead of sending out a poor looking image (when you uploaded a nice one).

It makes sense, buffer is all about their scheduler product, not the API (which people clearly misused).
Good thing you are building your own service/api now!
Thank you - please give it a spin and let us know what you think.
