I keep asking this question and can't get an honest answer. Does iCloud compress pictures when uploading and downloading from iPhone to a PC. I have a 2.6 MB picture file on my iPhone 8. When I upload it to iCloud and then download it to my PC, the picture file is 670 KB, not nearly the quality of the iPhone picture. I've gone through all the settings and it should be storing a full version of the picture. But that's not what's coming back from iCloud. How do I preserve the 2.6MB file throughout the upload and download process.

iCloud always maintains the original photo's resolution and size.

When you use iCloud.com to download, there are 2 options for downloaded size.

If you long press on the cloud/download icon, choose UNMODIFIED ORIGINAL size instead of most compatible.
