Send a photo at its full size
Send a picture that is still sharp enough to print.
Most messaging apps shrink a photograph on the way, to send it quickly.
What arrives looks fine on a screen and poor on paper, which is where it matters.
Key points
- Most messaging apps shrink a photograph on the way
- Email, a link or a shared album sends the full one
What to remember
- Email, a link or a shared album carries the full picture.
- For anything that will be printed, use a route that asks about size.
Try this
Email a photograph to yourself and pick Actual Size. Compare it with one sent by message.
