I have a video in the Photos library of the Photos app on my Mac.

If I right-click it and select "Get Info" - it shows that the video is 1920x1080.

Next, I share it to iCloud Photo Sharing.

Then - if I right-click the resulting video in the Shared album - it shows that the video is now 1280x720.

So - how can I share videos without reducing the quality?

As a random aside... does anyone have any tips for how to search Google for help for an app as generically named as "Photos"?

It's a limitation of iCloud Photo Sharing itself:

iCloud Photo Sharing supports HEVC, MP4, and QuickTime video file types, and H.264 and MPEG-4 Video file formats. Videos can be up to five minutes in length and are delivered at up to 720p resolution.

Unfortunately, there really isn't any way around this right now.

  • Unless they want to export the photo to their PC directly from the phone.
