Send Photos as Files

Want to keep the original quality? Send photos or videos as files instead of regular media to avoid compression.

Use Stable Internet

Large files take more time to upload, so using a good Wi-Fi connection can make the process easier and faster.

Try Saved Messages Too

You can also send large files to your Saved Messages chat if you just want to store them for personal use.

Check Size Before Sending

If the file is too big, Telegram may not send it. In that case, compress it or split it before uploading.
