How it works
Send Photos Without Losing Quality — step by step
01
Find the full-size files
Locate the images in your camera storage, photo library, or editor. Avoid using screenshots of the images as the transfer source.
02
Choose the right export
Export at the dimensions needed by the recipient. If they need the camera originals for editing, agree on that before sending RAW files.
03
Upload the photo set
Open FileFlap and select the prepared files. Check that the upload has finished before copying the share link.
04
Download and check a sample
Open the share link, download a sample, and compare its dimensions and file size with your source. Send the link with any printing or usage notes.
Before you start
What to know before you transfer
Photo quality depends on the file you choose before uploading. A small image saved from a preview cannot regain missing detail through a transfer. Start with the camera original or an appropriate export from your editor, and keep smaller web copies separate so the recipient knows which version to use.
Checklist
Prepare your files
| Item | What to send | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Original image | The original capture or agreed full-resolution export | Check pixel dimensions before sharing. |
| Edited version | The finished export you want the recipient to use | Distinguish it from the unedited original. |
| Web copy | An optional smaller version in a separate folder | Label it as unsuitable for uses needing more detail. |
| Image list | A short description of the photo set | Explain which files are intended for printing or editing. |
Common mistake
Starting with a reduced-size copy
A download link cannot restore image detail that was removed earlier. Export again from the original if the file you have selected is too small for the intended use.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Should I send JPEG, TIFF, or RAW files?
Choose the format the recipient needs. JPEG is practical for many finished photographs; TIFF or RAW may suit an agreed editing workflow. Sending a different format does not add detail to a low-resolution source.
Can I send several high-resolution photos together?
Yes. Prepare a clearly named set and upload it within the selected plan’s limits. Separate original, edited, and smaller web versions to avoid confusion.
