What is Compress & resize images for WhatsApp?

TL;DR: Shrink44 resizes and compresses images to WhatsApp's ideal dimensions (500×500 profile, 1080×1920 status) so they look sharp instead of blurry.

WhatsApp aggressively re-compresses images you send, which often makes profile photos and status images look blurry. Pre-sizing them to WhatsApp's native dimensions minimises that quality loss.

Shrink44 has built-in WhatsApp Profile (500×500) and WhatsApp Status (1080×1920) presets — just pick one, drop your image, and download.
