Every day thousands and thousands of shared images and videos flood almost everyone's phones. Sharing and transferring photos and videos is common thanks to the technology we have with WhatsApp. But Not everyone is taking advantage of all the improvements of WhatsApp for sending documents. You are probably sending your photos and videos with poor quality and you don't know it. That's why I'm going to tell you how to send photos and videos without losing quality on WhatsApp.
How to send photos without losing quality on WhatsApp
Previously, we could not choose the image resolution we wanted to send via WhatsApp. With the recent changes in WhatsApp they also came changes in the quality of sending images and videos. To send documents in HD quality You will have to see if your mobile has the latest version of WhatsApp.
As we have seen, you must download the latest WhatsApp update on your device as this feature is part of the company's latest performance update.
I leave you a link below so you can go update the app.
When updating the application, you can choose the HD option, which allows a Higher resolution and better multimedia sending quality.
If we click on the HD symbol, which appears in those images that have this quality, We can choose the quality of the photo between Standard Quality and HD Quality. Choose the HD option, in my case I have sent a photo with a quality of 5120 x 3413 pixels.
El maximum size that WhatsApp would have allowed me without this option would be only 1500 x 1000 pixels.
When we have chosen HD Quality, a floating message will appear that says "HD quality has been established for [N] photo." Being N, the number of total photos that we want to send. Thus allowing the mass sending of images in HD quality.
Although sending files as attachments is still the best option to send the original file at the highest quality, but the HD option is a great alternative. Simple and effective.
How to send videos at maximum quality
In WhatsApp we can send videos from the option with the same name. If we click on videos, the phone filters us directly by video-type multimedia content and we can send it to whoever we want. But there is a way to send that video with higher quality, and it is very simple.
Videos are limited to 720p. Although it has improved compared to other versions of WhatsApp, this quality is very limited.
To play the videos with better quality we must go to the documents section and from there we can send the video file directly without losing quality. This is a little trick to send photos and videos without losing quality and have the maximum image resolution to upload to social networks.
You can always send the files that you cannot send from WhatsApp from other file transfer tools. If you think you need to send higher quality files by another means, I recommend that you read this article on the best free cloud storage services with which you will never lose image quality here.
