Tips to avoid WhatsApp image compression

Use the right dimensions

WhatsApp compresses photos that exceed its internal limits. Resize to the correct preset dimensions before sending to avoid quality loss.

Send as a Document

Tap the paperclip icon → "Document" and select your image file. WhatsApp treats it as a file and skips all compression — perfect for full-quality sharing.

Use WebP for stickers

WhatsApp stickers must be 512×512 px in WebP format, under 100 KB each. This tool lets you export directly in WebP with the sticker preset.

Use JPG at 85% quality

JPG at 80–85% quality looks identical to 100% but is 3–4× smaller. Helps keep file size within WhatsApp limits while maintaining sharp detail.
