Question

How do I change the resolution on photos, not videos? For some reason, my photos are very small and very low res, yet I didn’t change any of the settings.

Community Answer

There is a chance that your photos were offloaded to iCloud. In this case, you will need to open them in full resolution while on Wi-Fi to trigger the download. To check if you have iCloud Photo Library enabled, go to Settings > Photos and see if iCloud Photo Library is ON and you have 'Optimize storage' selected.

Question

Will a photo taken on my iPhone taken at 4K at 30fps satisfy the 2160x3840 pixel requirement needed to print this photo?

Community Answer

A frame from a 4k video on the iPhone (in fact any device at 4k) will have a resolution of 3840x2160, therefore it will satisfactorily print at 2160x3840 pixels.

Question

Why do my photos seem darker on my 6plus than other phones?

The coding cat

Community Answer

This may be because the 6plus is older than many modern phones. Maybe try to use a different phone.

How can I change my photo from my screen?

If it is an iPhone, then go to Settings and there should be a setting called Wallpaper. Click it, then click Set Wallpaper, then select the photo you want to be the wallpaper. Follow the prompts to save and you're all done.

Question

All of a sudden when taking photos on my IPad the photos are very small. I didn't realized that I had changed anything. It is saving to jpg 40KB. How do I change this to larger size photos?

The coding cat

Community Answer

You should be able to change it in Settings. If not, try to get some help from a friend or a tech bar.

My camera does not have "formats" option.

Evilkid Danger

Community Answer

Get an app that allows you to format pictures. Then you will be able to format your pictures. Try to get one that's free, with 4 stars or more.

Question

How did Apple take billboard pictures with an Iphone?

Community Answer

Actually, those Apple billboard pictures weren’t captured by iPhones. Instead, it was done digitally with the help of very precise 3D software.

The photo size may have shrunk, sacrificing quality to allow it to take up less storage.

Question

How can I change the resolution of a jpg on my iPad?

Sandy Chou

Community Answer

You cannot change a resolution of the jpg because a mobile camera only uses one resolution (unless a real camera/camcorder), 4k for example. If you want photo's to be upsized, copy the photo from your iPad and then paste it to your PC. Next, go to a website that will upsize your photo and then use the website to upsize your photo. But if you are saying about the picture not displaying on any large screens, you can change the resolution through the camera app.

Question

How do I find the resolution of a photo?

Jay

Community Answer

Try downloading an app like Picsart and using the 'crop' feature. It should tell you at the top how big your image is.

Question

What MP or resolution is needed to capture the metallic shine of gold and silver on a photo to print a 11x14 inch copy. That is which iPhone.

Community Answer

It all depends on the lighting. If there is too much light, then you can't capture. But if there is moderate light, then you can capture it with any MP.
