How do you upload 4K photos and videos to Twitter?
Usually, we find that sharing photos and videos on social networking sites, such as: Instagram, Facebook and Twitter is the prominent activity for most users, and often everything works well as planned, however the Twitter application in particular often compress images when uploading or cropping them. This loses its quality very badly.
This brought the company a lot of criticism from users, which made it testing a number of new methods to allow users to upload photos and videos in high-quality resolution - up to 4K - in their posts on the mobile app for Android and iOS users.
Here's how to upload HD photos and videos to Twitter:
Note: The first thing you notice immediately when you post a tweet attached to a picture or when you only tweet an image, what will be published on your home page will match what you see in the tweet compose box without any modifications or cropping of the image, the second thing is that you can upload images or clips Video and display in up to 4K quality.To do this, follow these steps:
- Open the Twitter application on your smartphone.
- On the home page, tap on the three lines on the top left of the screen.
- From the menu that appears, click on the Settings and privacy option.
- On the next screen, tap on the option (data usage).
- Under the section (Images) Images, click on the option (High-quality images) High-quality images.
- In the pop-up window that appears, specify whether you want to download pictures up to 4K resolution while using (mobile data and Wi-Fi) mobile data and Wi-Fi, or (Wi-Fi only) Wi-Fi only, or (nothing) Never.
- Repeat the same steps for the videos under the (Video) section below.
- Now when you upload a photo or video, it will upload in its original quality without any editing operations from Twitter as was previously done.
Now testing on Android and iOS: when you Tweet a single image, how the image appears in the Tweet composer is how it will look on the timeline –– bigger and better. pic.twitter.com/izI5S9VRdX
