Q: size of photos when sharing

When sharing photos, does the file size get compressed? Are the people I'm sharing with able to download the original size?

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11)

Do you mean via iCloud? They can be 2400 pixels wide.

Yes sharing via iCloud. I am sharing photos in a folder with a few people and they say they cannot download the original size. Is 2400 pixels wide smaller than the original photos? I have an iPhone 6 which I take photos with. In general, are the compressed when sharing? Separate but somewhat related question, are photos compressed when sending via iMessage?

I don't know how big your originals are, so I can't say.

select an image and click the info button to see the size.
