What does Facebook do to my Photos?

5. May 2022

I was travelling to France lately when I made this nice black and white photograph. When I uploaded this to Facebook and Instagram, the photo came out way too dark! I was a little disappointed when seeing the result online – but what am I going to do? Correct, nothing… Due to the humongous amount of data Facebook and Instagram has to deal with, they compress the photos again after uploading. Since I use JPG as a format, the final result online is double compressed. JPG is a compressed file format. So, if Facebook or Instagram compressed it again, the photo will lose quality again.

However, here you see the version I finished working on a few days ago!

Photography Tip:

When taking day photos, I am almost certain that I will try black and white on them. The more high contrast and different light sources I have in the photo, the better it will turn out. On this photo I like the drama in the sky so much!

  • Do you want to learn photography?

    Do it with me and jump over to my store. There are several eBooks and presets I have been working on over the past few years – no kidding, it took me quite some time to make all this happen! And I am still working on it, there is more to come!
