p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Google Photos - download at same MP?

Does anyone know how I can download photos from Google Photos at the same resolution? My photos in Google Drive are stored at 49mp, but when I download them to my computer, my computer saves them at 20mp. There is no dropdown with a choice of download at the original size. Yes, I have looked online and forums to figure this out but I'm unable to find a solution.
