Although the results of file compression applied by platforms have improved considerably in recent years, complaints about a certain lack of quality in photos and videos posted in the status of the platform are still common. WhatsApp.
It’s really impressive how the compression algorithms used by WhatsApp end up destroying the quality of the media files when sent to this area that will be viewed by the contacts in your calendar.
And several ways are mentioned to get around this, so that the posts have more quality. Most of them don’t work. But I found out about a way that is really effective for you to post photos on WhatsApp status in very high quality. With this method, you will be able to achieve this difference in quality:
Since 2017, WhatsApp has had this area known as status, where you can share content that can be viewed for up to 24 hours. And, obviously, millions of people around the world use it to share photos and videos.
Some use the resource not just for trivia, they see the status as a showcase to promote some service or product they offer. Therefore; Delivering content that is not so penalized by compression is important for the business strategy.
One way to post your content in this area with higher quality is through a workaround that involves a feature implemented last year on the platform, sending high-resolution images and videos in the conversation chat, HD mode. We have an article here on the website about this.
Basically, HD mode consists of activating a button before sending the image or video to a specific contact. With HD activated, WhatsApp will send the media file in a higher resolution than the conventional sending method.
To post high quality images on WhatsApp status we will use this HD upload feature as a complement before posting the photo on status.
Instead of using an external app that promises some form of compression that can maintain quality when posted on WhatsApp status, what we will do is use WhatsApp’s own compression mode to have a final file already properly ready to be posted in high quality. quality.
So, forget about uploading your images to the status directly from your cell phone’s gallery, we will share the media already sent in HD in the conversation chat directly to the status.
To post high quality photos on WhatsApp status, follow these steps:
- First, start a conversation with yourself on WhatsApp. Open your own contact’s chat and choose which image you want to upload to your WhatsApp status in high quality;
- Now click on the HD button, located at the top corner of the screen. And change from Standard Quality to High Definition;
- After the file is uploaded to the conversation, click and hold on it and then forward it to your WhatsApp status – clicking on the arrow icon that appears next to the image and then on the word “My Status”.
That’s it, the image will be sent in a much higher quality compared to sending directly from the gallery. Logically, the final result will also be related to the source file, with the quality of capturing that image.
Notice the image below that compares the two sending methods, notice how the method of sending in HD directly from the conversation, forwarding the file to the status, guarantees much more definition for the image.
And with videos, does this method also work? Well, you could say yes, but the impact is not as great as with photos. Some videos may look better, while others not so much. But you can try and see if you notice considerable differences.
The method is the same. Send the video to yourself in the conversation, with HD mode activated, and share it directly from the chat to the status.
I know someone will appear in the comments saying that Telegram is better in this aspect of compression, and blah, blah, blah, but the focus is on users of what is the most used instant messenger in the world.
Therefore, if you are a fan of WhatsApp statuses and are looking for more quality in the media files you share, I invite you to test this method for your next publications.
