How to Send Photos and Videos in Original Quality on GBWhatsApp?

Sending high-quality media is one of the biggest reasons many users choose GBWhatsApp instead of the official WhatsApp. Unlike the standard app, GBWhatsApp allows you to send photos and videos without compression, ensuring your media retains its full clarity, sharpness, and size.

In this comprehensive guide, you’ll learn all methods to send photos and videos in original quality, how to adjust GBWhatsApp’s built-in settings, and the best practices to avoid quality loss.

Why WhatsApp Reduces Media Quality

The official WhatsApp automatically compresses photos and videos to:

• Reduce upload time
• Save storage
• Make sending faster on slow internet

But this also means:

• Blurry images
• Reduced resolution
• Lower video bitrate

GBWhatsApp removes these restrictions, giving users complete control over media size and quality.

How to Send Photos and Videos in Original Quality in GBWhatsApp

Below are the four most effective methods, from easiest to most advanced.

Enable High-Quality Image Sharing in Settings

GBWhatsApp has a built-in feature to send images at maximum quality.

Steps:

• Open GBWhatsApp
• Tap Menu (⋮) > GB Settings
• Go to Media Sharing
• Enable:
  • Send Photos in Full Resolution
  • Image Size Limit — set to No Limit
  • Keep Original Quality
• Restart GBWhatsApp for settings to apply.

Result

Your photos will be sent without any compression, preserving original size (e.g., 5 MB, 8 MB, 12 MB images).

Increase Maximum Video Upload Size

WhatsApp normally limits video upload size to around 16–64 MB. GBWhatsApp lets you increase it up to 700 MB or even 1 GB.

Steps:

• Open GB Settings
• Tap Media Sharing
• Adjust:
  • Video Size Limit → Increase to maximum
  • Upload Quality → Set to Maximum

Result

High-resolution videos (1080p, 2K, 4K) can be sent in better quality, with less compression.

Send Media as a File (Best for Zero Quality Loss)

If you want 100% original quality, this is the most reliable method.

Steps:

• Open a chat
• Tap the Attachment icon (📎)
• Choose Document (not Gallery)
• Select the photo or video file
• Send

Use ZIP Folder for Multiple High-Quality Files

If you need to send many HD files at once:

Steps:

• Compress photos/videos into a ZIP file
• Send the ZIP via Document
• Receiver extracts and gets original copies

Advantages

• No quality loss
• All files in one upload
• Faster to send and download

Extra Tips to Maintain Original Quality

Avoid Screenshotting

Screenshots significantly reduce clarity. Send the actual image file instead.

Don’t Edit Inside WhatsApp

Cropping or drawing directly in WhatsApp reduces resolution.

Use an external editor if needed.

Use Wi-Fi for Large Files

High-quality videos may take longer to upload on mobile data.

Common Issues & How to Fix Them

Photos Still Compress After Settings Change

Try this:

• Clear GBWhatsApp cache
• Restart app
• Re-enable “Send in Full Resolution”

App Crashes When Sending Large Videos

Fix:

• Lower file size slightly
• Update GBWhatsApp to the latest version
• Free up storage space

Receiver Says Quality Is Low

They may be using official WhatsApp.

Ask them to download the file (if sent as Document) instead of previewing.

Is It Safe to Send HD Media on GBWhatsApp?

While GBWhatsApp offers powerful features, it is still a third-party mod, meaning:

• No end-to-end encryption guarantee
• Potential account ban risks
• Not an official WhatsApp product

Use it only if you accept these limitations.

Final Thoughts

GBWhatsApp makes it extremely easy to send original-quality media, whether you are sharing professional photos, videos, or personal moments. By adjusting the built-in media settings and using smart methods like sending as a Document or ZIP file, you can enjoy crystal-clear photos and HD videos without compression.

If you want the best visual quality in messaging, GBWhatsApp’s enhanced media-sharing features are one of its biggest advantages.
