In version 27 or later of iOS, iPadOS, visionOS, or macOS, photos in a shared album are stored in iCloud in their original formats at full resolution.
In version 26 or earlier of iOS, iPadOS, visionOS, or macOS, photos in a shared album are reduced to 2048 pixels on the long edge, panoramic photos can be up to 5400 pixels wide, and videos are delivered at up to 720p resolution. To have a copy in its original resolution, keep your originals in your photo library.
