LINE is Japan's most used messenger app and is great for casually sharing photos. However, it automatically compresses images when sending, meaning you can't maintain original quality. This is especially important for events and travel photos you want to keep in high quality.
A. No. LINE's "original quality" reduces compression but doesn't fully preserve the original. You also need to select it every time, and forgetting means standard compression. PicTomo always saves at up to 4K quality without any settings.
A. Check the image dimensions (pixels) in the photo properties. Modern smartphones capture at 4000px+, but LINE reduces this to about 1200px. If photos appear blurry when zoomed in or show noticeable noise, they've likely been compressed.
A. No, once compressed, quality cannot be restored. Compression is irreversible, so LINE photos uploaded to PicTomo won't recover their original quality. For high-quality preservation, upload directly to PicTomo from the start.
