Facebook now allows you to post photos with better quality from your mobile
The company Facebook has released an update for your application on the platform Android with which improve the quality of the images that are published on the social networkIn this way, it eliminates the old limitation that compressed the size and quality of the photographs so that the result is more defined and full of detailOf course, this update is being deploying progressively for users, so for now we can only wait for its arrival.
Many of the users will not have noticed, but posting a photo on Facebook from the computer or from the mobile has its differences Y We are not referring to the process itself, but to the result in image quality Thus, the social network makes distinctions when publishing photos, reducing thequality and weight in the case of doing it from a mobile, without such limitation through the computer. Something is about to change.
The new update allows mobile users on Android (currently no known cases on iOS) to activate the function HD photo upload via menu Application settings With it, the application extends the limit that previously existed when posting an image, which was centered at 960 pixels wide, and now goes to 2048 pixels. A notable margin that will be appreciated on higher resolution screens, highlighted by the amount of detail and resulting image definition, much richer and more precise.
Now, this does not mean having a wide sleeve to publish images with professional quality. And it is that Facebook continues to apply its compression processes when storing the images in your servers. In other words, the resulting image will not have the same quality as the originall, being able to change its color scheme , or makes some noise appear when removing graphical information from the photo to compress its sizein the way possible.
In short, images published from mobile phones will receive the same treatment as those published from a computer, increasing their quality and detail to reach the high definition standard Oh DHowever, they will always suffer a reduction in weight and, therefore, in quality compared to the original image. This shouldn't be too noticeable as not all mobile device screens reach or exceed 1080 pixel resolution.
However, it is a clear commitment to mobile users by Facebook, who knows that their social network is consulted and updated mostly from smartphones and tablets The only problem is that this feature is coming very gradually , without the latest application updates having activated this feature, which seems to come directly from the servers of the social network. We will have to be attentive and consult from the menu Application settings to check if Upload HD photosappears in the next few days.
