💡 Trivia Video Quality Can Drop After Uploading to Social Media

[Beatriz9]

The video stored on your phone isn't necessarily the exact file viewers receive.

Social platforms commonly compress and re-encode uploaded videos to reduce file size and make streaming practical across different devices and connection speeds.

Compression can reduce fine detail, particularly in dark scenes, fast movement, gradients, and videos that have already been compressed several times.

Repeatedly downloading and reuploading the same clip can therefore make its quality progressively worse.
