Why Your MMS Images May Look Blurry — and How to Fix It

Hi ,

We’ve noticed that sometimes large, high-resolution images sent through Twilio can look blurry or pixelated once delivered. The reason isn’t the design — it’s carrier compression.

Most carriers automatically resize or compress images that are too large (usually anything above 500–600 KB), which can lower image quality and consistency across devices.

The solution:

To make sure your messages always look crisp and professional, use these simple settings:

• Size: 600×600 px to 800×800 px
• File size: under 600 KB
• Format: JPEG or PNG

Example: The TextMeChat graphic above was only 600×600 px and 96 KB — and it delivered perfectly clear through Twilio with no compression.

Keeping images lightweight ensures your MMS campaigns display sharply and deliver reliably, no matter the carrier or device.

Cheers,
