Compress Image for WhatsApp
WhatsApp compresses every photo you send — aggressively, and its way. Compressing yourself first means YOU choose the quality/size balance, or you send as a document and skip their pipeline entirely. We compress toward your target at the best quality that fits, never enlarge the image, and always show the real final size.

What WhatsApp does to photos
Standard photo sends get resized and recompressed hard — fine for memes, rough on photos that matter. Pre-compressing to a sensible size gives WhatsApp less to destroy; sending as a document (paperclip → Document) transmits your exact file untouched.
The quality-keeper's route
Compress to ~300–500KB at good quality, send as document: the recipient gets precisely that file. Group wallpapers, printable photos, design proofs — anything where \"WhatsApp quality\" is not enough.
