Facebook Messenger is a popular platform for sharing images with friends and family. However, you might have noticed that the quality of your images can sometimes be reduced when sent. Fortunately, there’s a method to send high-resolution images on Facebook Messenger. Here’s how to do it.
Why it’s Important to Send and Receive High-Resolution Images
Users of Facebook Messenger often use the app not just for chatting, but also for sending photos to their friends. These photos, unfortunately, have a significant limitation. They are compressed to take up as little space as possible in the recipient’s phone memory, to allow for quicker sending and receiving, and to consume the least amount of data. While this might have obvious benefits, it also has a big downside: the received image will lose quality when enlarged or viewed on a screen larger than a smartphone, such as on a PC monitor or a Smart TV.
A low-resolution image won’t be an issue for those viewing an image on their smartphone’s small screen, but what happens if you want to enlarge it to see a detail? Or if you want to download it for printing and putting in a photo album or using for a digital photo frame? In these cases, a low-resolution image, poor in detail due to Facebook Messenger’s compression, will be completely useless. Whereas, a high-resolution photo will show much more detail, even after enlargement. So, let’s see if it’s possible and how to send high-resolution photos on Facebook Messenger.
