WhatsApp is a communication software that people use for sharing information with security and privacy. It allows users to send text, photos, and videos conveniently at much cheaper rates than traditional SMS and MMS, especially for international communication. When you send images on WhatsApp, the software compresses them, which results in a loss of quality. However, there are some methods that are used to send images on WhatsApp without degrading image quality. In this article, you will learn how to send images or photos on WhatsApp without losing their original quality.
Method 1: Send images as a document
The quality of images will not degrade if you send them as documents. Follow the following steps for this;
- Select the contact to whom you want to send the images
- Tap on the attachment icon
- Select documents
- You will see the recently updated documents here, but you are not going to send documents so tap on “Browse other documents…”
- Click on the three lines to open the menu for available options
- Select images
- You will see all the images here. If you have recently taken or downloaded the images, click on “This Week” to show the latest images.
- Select the images by pressing and holding.
- Tap on Select to send all the selected images
- You will be asked for confirmation about sending the images. Tap on “Send” here.
Method 2: Use cloud storage to send images
Google Photos automatically saves all the photos that you take with your camera or download from the internet. The images will not lose quality if you send them right from Google Photos. This will allow the recipient to download the images in their original quality.
Follow the following steps to send images on WhatsApp without losing quality using Google Photos.
- Open Google Photos
- Select the images you want to send
- Tap on WhatsApp to use it for sending
- Select the contact to whom you want to send the images
- Give a caption “optional” and tap on the send button
