AirDrop: Secrets of sending photos and videos without losing quality.

airdrop: secrets of sending photos and videos without losing quality.

AirDrop is a convenient tool for quickly transferring files between Apple devices. However, did you know that it can compress photos and videos, reducing their quality? In this post, I will tell you how to send photos and videos via AirDrop in the original format, keeping all the details.

 Step 1: Select a photo or video

 Open the Photos app and select the photo or video you want to share.

 Step 2: Click "Share"

 In the upper right corner, click the "Share" button.

 Step 3: Open Settings

 In the "Share" menu that opens, click on the "..." icon in the upper right corner.

 Step 4: Configure sending options

 From the Options menu, select:

 — "Current": for sending RAW files (uncompressed).

 — “Individual photos”: for sending HEIC files (with HDR preservation).

 — “All image data”: for JPEG files (with EXIF data saved).

 Important:

 — For RAW files: not all Apple devices support the RAW format. Make sure the recipient can open the file.

 - For HEIC files: HEIC is a newer format than JPEG and provides better image quality in a smaller file size. However, some devices do not support HEIC. In this case, select "Individual photo" to send the photo in JPEG format.

 Step 5: Submit the file

 Select a recipient from the AirDrop list and click Done.

 Now your photos and videos will be sent without losing quality!
