Why do my images or videos look slightly lower in quality when published via Postly?

Many social platforms automatically compress or optimize files uploaded through third-party APIs to save bandwidth and storage. This can result in slightly reduced sharpness or resolution compared to uploads made directly from the platform’s official app.

For example, Instagram's in-app option "Upload at highest quality" ensures top-tier resolution, but that setting isn’t accessible via the API — meaning tools like Postly must rely on the platform’s default compression rules.

• Always upload the highest-quality version of your image or video.
• Avoid reusing files that were previously compressed or downloaded from social media.
• Ensure your file meets the platform’s optimal size and format (e.g., JPEG for images, MP4 for videos).

📸 Following these steps helps minimize quality loss even when the platform performs compression during upload.
