Prepare lighter images for WhatsApp sharing
Large photos can be slow to send, especially on mobile data or in group chats. Compressing first gives you a smaller file you control before sharing.
Use JPG for broad compatibility or WebP when you want a smaller modern output. If the file is still too large, resize the image before compressing again.
Common uses
- Chat photos
- Group updates
- Status images
- Travel or event sharing
