Want to upload high quality photos on Facebook, try these tricks

 You spend at least 30 minutes deciding the perfect pose for the picture, next 10  minutes is    spent on choosing the best filter for the picture and if time permits  you even add those  beauty effects to the hide the blemishes or perfect the skin  tone. All this hard work  but  when you upload the image on Facebook, it looks  all mushy, as if this is an image shot with  a 15 year old camera and not the  state-of-the-art latest iPhone.

 Often the pictures that you upload do not look the same after they are up on  Facebook.  Why? Up to 350 million new photos are uploaded on Facebook every  day. So basically  there is too much of data stored at once which can make the  site slow or even crash. So to  lighten the load and enable faster navigation on  the site, Facebook automatically resizes  and formats your pictures to its  default sizes of 720px, 920px, 2048px for regular photos  and 851px by 315px  for the cover photos.

 It also compresses the images and lowers the quality to a level where the  images even look  horrendous.

 So what do you do? How do you save your pictures from the horror of    Facebook's cruel  compression?  Just follow these tips the next time you upload  the next big art work on the  website.

 1. Facebook suggests you resize your pictures to one of its supported sizes            which are of          720px, 920px, 2048px for regular photos and 851px by        315px for the cover photos. Do          that  in an image edit program before        you upload the image. This way you can control          the quality  of the            photo.

 2. Upload cover photo of file size less than 100KB  to avoid compression.

 3. Facebook advises you save your image as a JPEG with an sRGB color profile.

 4. Make sure to tick the High Quality check box when uploading the photo album. You will        find it on the left hand side of the uploading window.
5. iPhone users can go to the Facebook Account settings > Videos and photos>       Upload   HD. This will upload your photos in HD by default from you iPhone.       Similarly Android users can go to App settings > Account Settings > Photos       > Upload HD.
