Recommended sizes for WhatsApp
WhatsApp compresses images quite a bit when sending them. Starting from 500×500 px for the profile picture and 1080×1920 px for statuses helps them stay sharp even after compression.
Why does my status show black bars?
This happens when the image isn't vertical 9:16. Use 1080×1920 px so it fills the entire screen.
Does WhatsApp reduce photo quality?
Yes, it compresses automatically. Exporting as JPG at a good starting resolution minimizes quality loss.
