Why You Should Upload Large Photos From a Computer (Not Your Phone!)
You just got your gallery back—yay! You’re excited to start uploading your favorite images to your blog, website, or maybe even a photo book. But before you hit that upload button from your phone, here’s something super important to know:
📸 If you're uploading large, professional photos—use your computer, not your phone.
I know it might feel faster or easier to just grab a photo from your phone’s camera roll, but if you want the images to look crisp, clear, and high-quality (especially if you’re printing or sharing them online), your computer is definitely the way to go. Let me explain why!
1. Your Phone Compresses the Photos
When you download photos onto your phone, they’re often automatically resized or compressed to save space. This means they might not be the full-quality version you received in your gallery.
So even if the image looks fine on your phone screen, uploading it to a website or trying to print it might make it look a little blurry or pixelated. Using your computer ensures you’re working with the original, high-resolution files I delivered to you.
2. You’ll Keep That Gorgeous Quality
Your gallery includes high-resolution files for a reason—they’re meant to look amazing everywhere, whether you're printing them or sharing them online.
Uploading from your computer means:
The image keeps its sharpness and full detail
It’ll look perfect on big screens or in printed albums
You’re using the version I edited with alllll the love 💛
3. Better for Websites, Blogs & Print Services
If you’re creating a personal blog post, building a wedding website, or designing a photo book, these platforms are built to handle uploads from a computer—not your phone.
On a computer, it’s easier to:
Select the exact photos you want
Upload multiple files at once
Avoid errors or weird cropping
Keep everything organized
And most importantly, your images will look their best!
4. Cloud Storage Makes It Easy
If you really love using your phone (hey, I do too!), try using Dropbox, Google Drive, or iCloud to store your photos. You can download the full-size images to your computer from there—super easy, and no quality lost.
In Short: Let Those Photos Shine ✨
I put so much care into editing and delivering your images in the best possible quality—and uploading them from your computer is the best way to show them off in all their glory!
