- ✓ WhatsApp converts PNG photos to JPEG automatically when sent in chat. Convert to JPG yourself first for better control over the final quality.
- ✓ For profile photos, upload at 1080 × 1080 px even though WhatsApp stores at 640 × 640 — the extra resolution helps after compression on high-DPI screens.
- ✓ To send a photo at full original quality, tap the attachment icon and choose Document instead of Photo. WhatsApp skips compression on documents.
- ✓ For Status images, resize to 1080 × 1920 px before uploading. Landscape or square images get blurred bars added on the sides.
- ✓ Keep chat images under 1 MB for fastest delivery on slow mobile connections.
