When our photos look amazing, we cannot wait to share it with the world typically through Facebook. But are they of the highest quality possible?

5 Simple Tricks to Upload High Quality Photos on Facebook

We've all been through it! We post photos on Facebook after working so hard preparing, shooting, editing and everything else involved in taking photos, but too often after uploading it, when we scroll through the timeline we are left with compressed and rather pixelated photos.

The pictures seem different as Facebook automatically compresses the image quality when it is uploaded to the platform. What happens more, the compressed images have a lower quality and it even reaches a level where the images look awful.

So how can you save your pictures from Facebook's cold-blooded compression? You can follow these simple to-do tips the next time you upload your photos on the website.
