How to send pictures in WhatsApp without a reduction in picture quality

GADGETS NOW

Facebook-owned instant messaging app, WhatsApp has become quite popular these days, so much so that you will rarely find a person today who has not used it or doesn’t use it. It has become the go-to app for texting, sharing videos, photos among other things. For sharing images, it is certainly one of the most popular apps. When we want to share a photo with someone, we usually just select that picture and forward it to someone on private chat or in a group. What many of us don't know is that while doing so, the quality of the picture received on the other end does not remain the same as that of the original picture. It gets deteriorated actually. However, there are ways to send pictures through WhatsApp without losing the original quality. These steps can really come in handy when you are sharing your photos with someone over WhatsApp.

 Method-1 : Renaming the picture and then sending

This is quite an easy method if you've to send one or two images.

1.Open the file manager/explorer and locate the particular image you want to send.

2. Simply rename the image to image.doc, go to the intended recipient's profile and send it to the recipient as an attachment (the paper clip icon) since the image has now been converted into a .doc file.

3.Ask the recipient to rename the received file again to .jpg format to view it.

Method-2: Compressing multiple images into a zipped file

1.Compress the whole image folder using your phone's file manager or any third-party compression tool.

2.Share the zipped folder from the file manager/explorer straightaway or send it to the receiver as an attachment.

3.Ask the recipient to uncompress the received zipped folder.

This method is easy for the recipient also because they do not have to go through the hassle of renaming every single image file since you've sent all the images inside a folder. They'll just have to rename one folder to get all the images without any loss in size or quality.
