When sharing event photos, quality can sometimes degrade. Here are tips for maintaining maximum photo quality from shooting to storage, so your precious memories stay beautiful.
Shooting Tips
Check Your Smartphone Camera Settings
- Set resolution to maximum: Select the highest resolution in camera settings
- Turn on HDR: Prevents overexposure and underexposure in high-contrast scenes
- Avoid digital zoom: It degrades quality, so move closer to your subject instead
Shooting Techniques
- Prevent camera shake: Hold your phone firmly with both hands and keep your elbows tucked in
- Shoot in bright locations: Dark environments increase high-ISO noise and reduce quality
- Clean the lens: Fingerprints and smudges make photos appear blurry
Preventing Quality Loss During Sharing
LINE and Social Media Compress Photos
Sending photos via LINE automatically compresses them to around 1200px. Instagram and Twitter apply similar compression. For photos intended for printing or photo books, use a service that shares without compression.
PicTomo Supports Up to 4K Quality
PicTomo saves photos at up to 4K (4096px) high resolution with JPEG quality at 85%, maintaining sufficient resolution even for A4-size prints.
Storage Tips
- ZIP batch download: Download from PicTomo via ZIP to get the full high-quality photos stored on the server
- Cloud backup: Back up downloaded photos to Google Photos or iCloud
- Keep originals: Upload copies for sharing and keep the original data on your phone
Summary
To preserve event photo quality, follow this flow: "Shoot in high quality" > "Share via a non-compressing service" > "Back up in high quality." PicTomo lets you share photos at up to 4K quality and download them in full resolution via ZIP batch download.
