# Why Does a Photo Look Sharp on My Phone but Blurry After I Post It to Facebook?

A photo can look crisp in my phone’s gallery and still appear noticeably softer after I upload it to Facebook. I’m trying to understand whether the change comes from image compression, the upload process, or the way the photo is displayed in the feed.

Does the original file size or aspect ratio make a meaningful difference? I’d especially appreciate advice for comparing the uploaded version with the original before assuming the camera or phone has a problem.
