Decrease in image quality after setting as a device background or uploading online

Everyone faces this problem and it has been mentioned to me by many followers, so let me explain it to you. After uploading the image on the internet, for example on Facebook or other well-known image storage sites, you may notice that the image quality has become very poor. This becomes apparent especially if the image contains text, as you will notice that the text has a shadow in the background, making the image worthless. Also, if you set the image as your device’s wallpaper, you will also notice this problem. In this topic, we will review this issue for you, its causes, and a solution for it, so do not worry, the solution is very simple. We will present more than one solution, as the problem can be very annoying, especially if the image is text-based, causing the text to be unreadable. Therefore, I advise you to follow this topic to get rid of this problem.

If you upload an image on the internet as in the previous first image, you will notice that the image quality has become very poor and the font is extremely bad. This is because the website has compressed the image, reducing its size. Even image upload servers like Facebook automatically compress the image, making the size smaller, resulting in a very poor quality image.

The same applies when setting an image as your device’s wallpaper, as you will notice that the image has also become of poor quality. The reason is that Windows automatically compresses the image to save space on the system and to prevent the image from consuming the device’s resources. Some may not notice this, but if you set the image directly from an internet page as your device’s wallpaper, you will indeed notice a decrease in quality, and in the following lines, we will present the solution, God willing.

Convert the image to PNG

This is the optimal and best solution, which is to convert the image format to PNG using Photoshop or even the Paint program within Windows. You edit the image and save it as PNG, and this solution works especially for uploading images on the internet, and also works when setting the image as your device’s wallpaper. Therefore, I advise everyone to convert the image to PNG before uploading it on the internet.
