Whenever you share your photos through WhatsApp, the recipient always receives lower resolution on WhatsApp or should say photos having lower quality on WhatsApp. The logic or idea behind this is to share photos better adapted to the mobile screens. It also reduces the overhead load on Servers of WhatsApp Inc. and moreover this method uses low data or bandwidth.
There are some situations, where you would want to send a quality picture without losing details like a photo with a lot of detail or full of fine text.
You can share a video or image with a maximum of 16 MB in size. If photo or video is of higher resolution or of higher size, still you can send photos by WhatsApp without losing its quality on your mobile phone. Then, how to send a picture or video through WhatsApp without quality loss?
To know about how to send photos or videos without loss of quality, follow this post.
Loss in detail
In short, your photo would get compressed into KB in size, which was originally in MB in size.
Now imagine you have gone to some exotic travel place. You send those photos to your friend to use on PC or maybe for printing. Sadly compression or size reduction by WhatsApp will ruin your photo quality. This is quite noticeable on the large display of PC or your laptop. The image will look little blurry.
Thus, WhatsApp will degrade your high-quality photo just while sharing.
