Drop them into a photo editing app on a computer
use the resize function to make the image 12" along the longest edge
Set the resolution to 72 DPI & format to JPG
Then save the image with a new name
Those images will display up to full screen on a 32" screen and still retain detail
Phones cheat with the way they store image data which makes the file appear to be over 100 times as big as it actually is
The WWW sees only JPEG, TIFF & PDF formats
People are idiots and get impressed with big numbers
I used to work with professional photographers when the transition to digital came in
They would crap on about how fabulous their high resolution cameras were and how much more detail they captured
However in those days Photoshop was only 8 bit so the photographers would get me to take massive hard drives full of the photos they took for retouching
The trade houses would convert the large 16 bit , huge 32 bit and massive 64 bit files back to 8 bit to do the retouching then output back to whatever the original file was.
To do that the soft wear simply added pixels to take the place of all of the one it tossed out in the first place
So camera & phone companies brag endlessly about their 24 Mp 36 Mp 72 Mp cameras when 99% of that can neither be seen without a microscope or printed on any machine ever made and in most cases is BS that the device invents after the CCD has sent the file to storeage .
