Social media apps like TikTok and Instagram intentionally lower the quality of videos to save space and enhance the user experience.
To upload higher-quality videos on Instagram, go to the settings menu, disable Data Saver, and enable "Upload at Highest Quality."
Shooting in HDR and uploading at 1080p and 30 or 60 fps with a bitrate of 5–15Mbps will result in better-quality Instagram videos and Reels.
