Frequently Asked Questions
Why do my photos lose quality on WhatsApp?
WhatsApp automatically compresses images to save bandwidth. Photos are resized to 1600px and compressed to JPEG at ~70% quality. By pre-compressing with our tool, you control the result.
What is the best size for WhatsApp photos?
Set max width to 1600px and quality to 80-85%. This matches WhatsApp's compression but gives you control. Most photos will be 100-300KB.
How do I send large photos on WhatsApp without compression?
Reduce quality or dimensions and check the displayed output size. The current tool does not guarantee a specific target size.
