How To Upload High Quality Videos and Photos to Facebook

All videos and photos on Facebook were uploaded by users, pages, and group admins around the world. Millions of users upload media files every day from their mobile phones and desktop. Not all of the media files were of good quality even though the users upload HD-quality photos and videos.

Many users complain about the video and image quality issues after publishing.

Why are my videos blurry on Facebook?

Whenever you upload media files from your mobile, Facebook will automatically compress and resize the photos and videos. At the time of uploading your file, Facebook aggressively lowers the quality. This should be frustrating because you might have tried uploading HD-quality videos and photos.

From Facebook's point of view, they compress the files in order to save your mobile data.

Later when you would like to download your own media files from Facebook, you will get low-quality files.

You can change the default settings on the Facebook app for Android and iOS devices. This would be a good setting for wifi users. If you have enough mobile data, you can enjoy uploading HD videos on Facebook.
