Don’t be fooled by our usage of the word “quality.” We’re not talking about megapixels or the quality of your camera. The overall quality of a photograph is determined by its composition, effects, element placement, optional typography, and other factors.

Images on social media should always be distinctive, high-resolution, and fresh. We recognize how difficult it is to stand out and get people’s attention with something distinctive, yet relevant and effective, in today’s world. Give people an interesting snapshot to look at for a few seconds.
