According to Facebook itself, 350 million new photos are uploaded everyday and more than 250 billion of them are stocked as of now. That’s a lot of data to store and Facebook lower our photos quality to lighten the load.

Facebook states in its guidelines that compression is not as noticeable when photos are at least 2,048 pixels wide.
