Tips for WhatsApp

1 WhatsApp limit: 16MB per image

2 Compress to under 500KB for instant sending

3 1280px max for good quality on phones

4 Use 'Document' option for original quality

WhatsApp auto-compresses to reduce bandwidth. Pre-compressing gives you control over the final quality.

Send as 'Document' instead of photo. But pre-compressing and sending as photo is more convenient for recipients.

1280x720 is optimal for phone screens. Larger images offer no benefit and load slower.
