Facebook will be able to upload higher resolution photos

    The Photos team has announced three major Facebook-related photo changes: high-resolution images, an improved photo viewer, and a simplified multi-uploader. Changes will be available to everyone within a month.

    High Resolution Images



    The possible size of the photo is increased from 720 pixels to 2048 pixels on the larger side, the total possible size of the photo is increased by 8 times.



    To assess the quality of these photos, check out the Top-Rated Your Shot Photos (September) (National Geographic) or Football Across America (Sports Illustrated) albums . You can download high-resolution images by clicking on the “Download” link.

    Improved photo viewer



    The new viewer has easier photo navigation. Now you can view photos and entire albums without having to load a new page. The team rewrote the entire viewer code from scratch, so that photos should be viewed noticeably faster.



    Simplified tagging and loading


    Users often upload a set of photos from events such as weddings and birthdays that capture the same people. Now you can tag multiple photos in one album at once and tag photos of the same person with much less effort.

    Also completely redesigned bootloader. Most of the changes are outwardly invisible, but the team thinks that users will notice improvements.
