Facebook makes your photos poorer. Here is the solution – Dagbladet.no

Dinside.no: Do you also annoyed over the poor quality of the photos you’ve uploaded to Facebook?

This is because Facebook both shrinking images and compresses your files. The advantage is that the pictures are faster to load, the drawback here is that quality declines, sometimes substantially worse.

An image of 16 megapixels shrunk to 3 megapixels. Meanwhile compressed file size considerably – in our case from around 4 MB to 292 KB. In this process naturally has a lot of detail in the image disappeared.

So even though Facebook has no limit to how many images you can store there, never look at this as a backup your photos.

Upload in high quality

Fortunately, you can to some extent avoid the worst kvalitetetstapene. You can not do anything with the limit of 3 megapixels, but you can limit the compression by uploading images up to an album, and tick the box saying High quality.

The algorithms Facebook uses to reduce the number of megapixels does not always provide the best results. To avoid that Facebook do this, first open the image file in a suitable image program, and shrink to 3 megapixels itself.

Photoshop (Elements) often gives the best results, but free programs can often work nearly as well.

How to free
Here is the procedure via the free Paint.net, on a PC running Windows 10 explained in the text:

1. Open the image via File – Open …
