Meta business suite photo quality?
Background: I’m a professional automotive/restaurant photographer and image quality is important for me.
I Just recently left the Later platform as I discovered Meta has their own (free) scheduler. However, when I schedule photos through Meta to go onto instagram and facebook simultaneously, I find the image resolution looks much worse on insta than when i post the exact same file through the native insta app.
Images are exported from lightroom at 3000px long side and around 2mb each. Later and insta both have no problem getting this compressed correctly for good display on my feed. Even when testing a direct comparison of an export at 1350 x 1080 where there should be no compression happening, Meta vs native insta app, insta app posts look notably sharper.
Any tips to get Meta to post with less compression? I am pulling my hair out.

I’m not really sure about his one as I’ve never noticed a difference. But what I CAN say with confidence is that Meta planner suxx big time. There’s a reason there are all these different schedulers out there, just because FB is unable to create a good UI and actually readable reports.. so if I were you and if that’s possible for you money wise if just go back/use another platform again & don’t worry about this issue

I think you can improve Facebook photo quality by posting your single static image as a landscape video or a profile reel short but you’ll have to test this yourself.
I use TikTok to convert single photos for profile reels. -
That is because Facebook who also own Instagram compress the image in a lossy way. You are best of using a professional image hosting like Flickr, smugmug or use nextcloud. As they don’t compress images or remove metadata

I’ve always had success just making sure I use pngs over jpgs. I’m not a designer and dont know the technical differences or edge cases but png always seems to avoid the issue

The average person scrolling by won’t notice.

Both FB and IG apply compression, IG pictures just happen to be visually more appealing because of better combination of image processing settings.
For FB, I would generally recommend to just upload files in bigger resolution.
