Resize Image for WhatsApp Online

The recommended WhatsApp profile photo size is 800x800 pixels at a 1:1 aspect ratio. WhatsApp displays profile photos as circles, so keep faces and logos centred and avoid placing important elements near the corners. The absolute minimum is 192x192 pixels, but anything below 500x500 may look soft on modern high-resolution screens.

WhatsApp Status images should be 1080x1920 pixels at a 9:16 aspect ratio to fill the screen edge-to-edge on modern phones. Keep important text and content within the centre 1080x1420 px safe zone to avoid being covered by the WhatsApp UI elements at the top and bottom.

WhatsApp automatically compresses images sent as photos. To preserve full quality, resize your image to the target dimensions first, which gives WhatsApp's compressor the best starting point, or send the image as a Document instead of a Photo, this bypasses compression entirely and delivers the exact file you selected.

WhatsApp stickers must be exactly 512x512 pixels and saved in WebP format under 100 KB. Leave a 16-pixel transparent margin around the edges so your artwork fits within the effective 480x480 px design area. The Sticker preset in this tool resizes your image to 512x512 as a transparent PNG, you'll still need to convert that PNG to WebP separately before uploading it as a sticker.

Not on this page. This tool only offers the five fixed WhatsApp presets above, there's no custom dimension field here. If you need an exact size that isn't one of these five, use the general resize tool, which lets you type any width and height.

Cropped, not stretched. If your source image doesn't already match a preset's aspect ratio, for example a landscape photo resized to the vertical Status size, the tool scales it up to cover the target completely and trims the excess evenly from the edges. Nothing is distorted, and no padding is added.

It depends on the preset. Profile Photo, Status, Chat Image and Business Catalog all output JPEG. The Sticker preset is the one exception, it outputs PNG so it can preserve a transparent background, since WhatsApp stickers require transparency around the artwork.

Only for the Sticker preset, since it's the only one that outputs PNG. The other four presets output JPEG, which doesn't support transparency, so any transparent areas in your source image will be flattened for Profile, Status, Chat and Catalog sizes.

Yes. After downloading one size, choose "Try another size" to generate a different preset from the same image without re-uploading. Useful for producing a profile photo and a status image from a single source photo in one session.

No. The Sticker preset resizes your image to the correct 512x512 pixel dimensions, but it doesn't check or enforce a file size limit. WhatsApp's own 100KB sticker requirement applies to the final WebP file, so check the size after you convert the downloaded PNG to WebP, and compress further if needed.

The tool upscales it to reach the target size and shows a warning above the result. Upscaling stretches existing pixels rather than adding new detail, so the result may look softer than a native-resolution image. For the sharpest result, start from the highest-resolution version of your photo.

No. The image is decoded to raw pixels and re-encoded during resizing, so EXIF metadata, including GPS location, does not carry over to the downloaded file, for any of the five presets.

No. Resizing and cropping happen entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your image is never sent anywhere.

JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF and HEIC are all accepted as input. What you get back depends on which preset you choose, JPEG for Profile, Status, Chat and Catalog, PNG for Sticker.
