Do you ever wonder why there is a big difference between your original photo and what appears when you upload it to social media? The simple answer is Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Linkedin each use their very own image compression tool to deal with large image files (they squash them and stretch them and then present a very poor quality copy of your original for all the world to see #YIKES!). The solution is simple: always export your images with the appropriate dimensions for each media type before you upload.
