WhatsApp Compression FAQs
What size is best for WhatsApp?
Aim for 100–200KB and 800–1200px width for quick sharing and good appearance.
Does WhatsApp re-compress images?
Yes — but supplying a smaller image reduces extra compression and preserves quality better.
Are presets available?
Yes — use the "WhatsApp" preset for optimized sizing and quality.
Can I batch compress for sending?
Yes — bulk mode is helpful for sending many images at once.
Will compression remove metadata?
By default EXIF may be removed to save bytes; keep originals if metadata is important.
