Understanding Media Upload Quality
Arattai provides an option to compress media before it is uploaded. This adjustment affects the file size and the visual clarity of the content you share.

Media Quality | Images and videos are compressed, may lose some clarity. | Media is sent in higher, original quality. |
File Size | Reduced file size to optimise storage and data. | Larger file size. |
Data Usage | Lower, saves data on mobile networks. | Higher, uses more data. |
Upload Speed | Faster uploads, ideal for slower connections. | May take longer to upload. |
