WhatsApp recompresses every image sent as a photo, so starting from exactly the display size helps: status updates are full-screen 9:16 (1080×1920), profile photos 500×500 shown as a circle, and Business profile covers 1200×630. Square 800×800 images display cleanly in chats without being downscaled.
Every WhatsApp size on this page, verified for 2026: Status 1080×1920 px (9:16), Square image 800×800 px (1:1), Business cover 1200×630 px (1.91:1), Profile photo 500×500 px (1:1 · circle). Each card is a live preview of your image in that frame — drag to reposition, slide between Fit (whole image, background added) and Fill (frame covered, edges cropped), then download the one you need or every size as a ZIP. Nothing is uploaded; the rendering runs in your browser.
Send important images as documents to skip recompression entirely; otherwise export JPG at 90. For status, keep text inside the central 1080×1420 — the reply bar and progress dots cover the top and bottom.
