If the folders of the original images on your PC are synced with Google Photos, they should automatically upload in original quality back to the Cloud. If you have an Android or Apple i. OS device, the process of upgrading photo quality is similar. All it takes is that you still have photos of original quality on your device.
What is the difference between Google Photos and original quality?
Google Photos offers you two options when uploading photos: one is “High quality” images, which are compressed files, and the other is “Original quality”, which is well the original files from your phone or camera that typically take up a lot of space.
High Quality to Original You can switch to Original uploads if you are not happy with the compression in the High Quality setting of Google Photos. Any pictures and videos that Google takes a backup of after that will be uploaded in the same quality that they are shot in. It’s the best option for taking a backup or syncing RAW images.
Should you back up Google Photos in original or high quality?
So you can choose to use the High Quality setting on one device while keeping it at the Original setting on another. But what about the photos and videos that are already backed up to Google Photos in Original quality? Well, they will continue to be stored in the same quality, using up storage in the process.
You should be thinking “Do you still use Google Photos”high quality’mode?”
Audio player loading… If you’re a regular Google Photos fan, you might have made good use of its ‘High Quality’ storage mode, which compresses your snaps to save space – but this is no longer recommended, according to a new email Google has sent to some of the service’s users.
How do I change the quality of my Google Photos?
It is also one of the key features that makes Google Photos so great. And it’s super-easy to change quality settings. Just head into the Google Photos Settings panel, and then select High Quality from underneath Upload Size. After you do that, all the photos you click will upload at a compressed quality.
As stated above, Google Photos doesn’t have an option that can automatically upgrade the quality of the photos. If you want to change the quality of the images that are currently in your library, you’ll have to remove them and upload them again. Make sure you still have the images in the original quality on your computer’s storage drive.
Can I keep the original quality of my photos and videos?
You can maintain the original quality of the photos and videos up to 16MP and videos up to 1080p. However, larger items will be compressed to fit the mentioned size. If you want to keep all images the way they are, you should pick the Original size. All items will be stored in the same definition and resolution.
