With the explosion of media sharing, it’s no wonder that users are always hunting for better ways to send high-quality photos and videos. If you’re a Telegram user, you’re in luck! Telegram offers robust features that help maintain media quality for both mobile and desktop platforms. Here’s how you can ensure your visual content retains its crispness when sharing through Telegram.

 On Mobile

For Photos:

1. Use the ‘File’ Function: Rather than using the camera or gallery sharing options, select the ‘File’ option within the attachment menu when sending a photo. This allows you to send it as an uncompressed document. Your recipient gets the image in its original quality.

2. Adjust Automatic Media Compression: In Telegram Settings, under “Data and Storage,” you will find options to adjust automatic media compression both for mobile data and Wi-Fi. You can tweak these settings to improve quality.

For Videos:

1. Send as File: As with photos, choosing ‘File’ rather than ‘Video’ prevents Telegram from compressing the file. Your videos reach the recipient without losing detail due to compression algorithms.

2. Use Telegram’s Built-In Video Editor: Before sending a video, you can edit it directly in Telegram without affecting the original quality much. Cropping or trimming your videos in other editors might reduce their quality.

 On Desktop

For Photos:

1. Drag and Drop as a File: When using Telegram Desktop, drag your photo into the chat window but make sure to drop it in the input field labeled as “Send without compression.” This bypasses image compression.

2. Right-Click to Send as File: You can also select your photo(s), right-click and choose “Send as File” from the context menu, ensuring the photo is sent at full resolution.

For Videos:

1. Avoid Convert Option: When dragging a video into chat on desktop, a “Convert to round video message?” prompt may appear. Always choose “Send as file” instead if you want to send a high-quality video.

2. Use Software Video Compression (If Necessary): If file size is an issue but you still want high quality, consider using software like Handbrake on desktop to compress your video before sending it through Telegram.

With these tips in mind, sending high-quality photos and videos on both mobile and desktop versions of Telegram should be a breeze, keeping your media looking sharp—as intended—for any viewer on any device!
