I currently have a few images (all 100x100 in dimension, very small) that are pulled from a MySQL DB server and displayed in my app. Everything works and behaves as I want. However, I noticed that when I share the images to WhatsApp, Messenger or other social media apps (I have buttons in my app that share the image) the images are blown up, as if they're too small to share so the social media apps resize them up - which pixelates the images since the original dimensions are 100x100.
In order to avoid the images being resized up I had an idea, but not sure if its possible or how to go about it. Would it be possible to place the original image onto a white canvas of 300x300 in dimensions during the share? This way the image will be 300x300 but with a white background and hopefully share properly without being resized up.
