Why Choose HD (High Definition)?

✓Both HD rungs decode in hardware on current phones and laptops, so playback is smooth without a conversion step.
✓The download is the same encode the app streamed, so nothing is re-compressed on the way to your device.
✓The playback rendition has no username or logo painted into the frame, unlike the file the in-app save button writes.
✓HD files stay small enough to keep in quantity while holding enough detail for most reuse.
✓Portrait geometry is preserved, so there is no rotation or letterboxing to undo afterwards.
✓Both rungs are small enough to keep on a phone and detailed enough to read on-screen captions.

Pro Tips for HD (High Definition)

  • HD is a range rather than a single size: inspect the file to see whether you received 720 or 1080 pixels across.
  • If a post was uploaded at low resolution, no HD rendition exists for it and the closest available encode is served instead.
  • A watermark-free file means the playback rendition rather than the in-app export; it is not a filter applied afterwards.
  • Uploading an HD download to another platform triggers a re-encode on their side, so expect their copy to look slightly softer.
  • Where storage allows, keep the largest rendition you can get and down-convert copies from it as needed.
  • HD describes the picture only; the audio track is the same AAC stream at every rendition, so sound quality does not change with the resolution you receive.
