However, not many people know about one of the most useful features of Telegram. You can use this app to send high quality photos and videos to the Internet. We’ll walk you through this feature and show you how to use it in both the mobile and desktop versions of the app.
Why Use Telegram to Send High-Quality Photos & Videos?
Messengers are great for sharing photos and videos. If the files you send or receive are vague, this can quickly become frustrating. This is because social media and messaging platforms use different image compression methods. While this simplifies the media sharing process and allows you to send and receive photos quickly, it also means that the quality is different from the original when it reaches the recipient.
Sending uncompressed files can help you avoid frustration and ensure that both the sender and the recipient receive the same quality photos and videos. Also, on Telegram, you don’t have to worry about the files being too large as the app allows you to exchange large files. With Telegram’s superior security protocols, you also don’t have to worry about keeping your media private.
What’s the Max File Size that You Can Share on Telegram?
On Telegram, you can send individual files up to 2 GB in size. This exceeds the limits of any other messaging platform. For example, the maximum file size allowed by WhatsApp is 16 MB for all media and 100 MB for files you share as documents.
