How to Upload HD Video to Facebook

Some avoid sharing photos and videos through Facebook because the platform turns your HD media to SD by default. And the difference between high definition and standard definition videos and pictures is quite visible.

Facebook states that they want to save their users’ mobile data, and that’s the reason for the average video quality.

Read on and find out how to upload HD videos and photos to Facebook on all platforms. That’s right; uploading HD content to the mobile version of the app is possible, as well.

How to Upload HD Video on a Computer

The desktop version of Facebook is fantastic in many regards, including high-quality content uploads. Your internet speed on the computer is far superior to the mobile network in most cases, due to the cable connection.

  3. Choose Settings and Privacy (gear icon).
  4. Select Settings.
