Miscellaneous
Q: I upload a photo and the quality is bad?
A: Interesting and Complex! Here are some helpful hints to make sure you maximize the most out of your beautiful images,
Although technology has greatly advanced unfortunately uploading from a Smartphone or Tablet to social media websites specifically, can for some reason reduce the quality of uploaded images.
Why?
Explained, well your cellphone can often without our knowledge compress your images. It can shrink the image size or even lose data the image has by having it trade across devices or move. The more times back and fourth between devices that compress, typically the lesser quality it will get.
So when you finally go to upload the content from your phone, the quality can be greatly reduced.
Certain apps like Instagram, TikTok and Tumblr sometimes account for this and are able to take the image file without compression or alteration because they are made for small screens and try to maintain image integrity while uploading, which makes sure it looks true to the original but for websites like Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Snapchat or Printing Service Websites it’s best to always upload directly to the website with the original file and website specifications for high quality uploading directly from your computer.
Hopefully in time Smartphones will be able to handle this and it looks to be heading this way, however if you are struggling with a grainy or pixelated image please use the original large file size and upload that directly to whichever website you need.
Please also make sure your computer and devices are updated to the most recent software to optimize your results.
