iPhone camera/ email difficulty

[Ladder23]

Hi all,

I take photos of refuse trucks on my iPhone, and I noticed lately the photos I take, when I email over (via outlook) the quality is drastically reduced, I send via large files.

if I open the “sent” files and open photos I have sent, the difference is actually shocking,

I don’t have a camera, and for ease of use and availability I enjoy using the iPhone but I feel if there is no simple resolution I will have to abort and up my resources after Christmas.

can anyone suggest anything, many thanks.

You can download iCloud to your computer (Windows - Apple already has it built in), and sync your phone camera folder to this and the quality should be the same on the PC.

Thanks I will try this!

See: https://www.apple.com/icloud/. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you see your options. You are able to save upto 5GB on iCloud for free but after that you need to pay a monthly fee depending how much storage you require which is then upto 50Gb (99p per month), 200GB (£2.99 per month) and then 2TB (£6.99 per month). I use iCloud storage as one of my backups and currently I have over 50000 images on there - the size of the images do vary too.

Something I have experienced is that some e-mail services/software (not all, and I forget details) will - when e-mailing an image - embed it in the e-mail at a reduced size/quality, rather than attaching it in full glory (and size). I suspect this may be the cause of the OP's problem.

I just plug my phone into the computer with a USB cable and copy photos that way.

What about copying from within Apple photos to Microsoft OneDrive if you have that set up for your PC? I don’t normally use it but have it set up on the iPhone just in case, and a quick check suggests it copies the photo at full resolution.

Think I need to just do this, thanks

Airdrop is almost instant and results in no quality loss.

Are you trying to send them to yourself (to access on another device) or someone else?

To myself just for storage

That being the case the simplest would either be some form of cloud storage (iCloud/OneDrive/Dropbox/Google Drive etc) or a cable. Which you consider easier depends on your preference, organisation, and tech abilities.

Alternatively, if you have a Apple computer Airdrop works well, but isn't available with a Windows PC.
