If you download a song from Smule through a service like ours, you get the full available quality. You save exactly what is played in the browser or in the Sing! app. However, if you upload a Smule video to a social media service like Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, the quality will suffer significantly. This is because these services don’t just host your video as you uploaded it on their site. They recompress the video so it takes as little space as possible and loads as fast as possible. At the moment, there is no option to work around this. 

So if you want to keep the best quality, you have no choice but to link to the Smule page of your performance, instead of uploading the video itself. 

Another option might be YouTube. Viewers of your YouTube uploads get the choice to select a certain quality, although the default – if you share the YouTube video on social media sites – might again be a rather low quality. But at least the audio quality is usually better than the quality of videos hosted on Twitter or Facebook directly.
