Shared album with original size now downsizind?

I have iCloud family sharing.

I have shattered album with my girlfriend. But posting there means that 2MB gets shrunken to 0,6MB image.


So I need to keep both if I don’t want quality loss.


I can’t just put it there and delete local files to save space.




iPhone 13, iOS 16

That's correct. The maximum pixel dimension for a shared photo is 2048. The Apple document that describes the limitations of a Shared Album is How to share albums in Photos on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac - Apple Support


Shared Albums is not an off computer storage facility. So don't delete any photo from the library that you want to keep.
