Resize Image for WhatsApp
WhatsApp needs a square profile picture (DP) that survives the circle crop, and full-screen 9:16 images for Status. Pick the size you need and resize in one step. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded. Need a smaller file instead? Compress or convert.
Drag the preview to choose which part of the image is kept. The same framing is used for every image in the batch.
Getting the WhatsApp image right
This page opens on the square profile picture size. Use the table for Status images and link previews.
Round DP
The square is shown as a circle.
Status is 9:16
1080×1920, like Stories.
Link previews
1200×630 from your website.
Private
Resized in your browser, never uploaded.
About 64 KB–130 KB as JPG
A typical photo at 640×640 saves to roughly 64 KB–130 KB at good quality — well within the upload limit.
You choose the crop
Filling 640×640 from a 3:4 phone photo trims about 25% of it. Drag the preview to choose what stays, or tick the fit option to keep everything.

Frequently asked questions
What size is a WhatsApp DP?
A square such as 640×640. WhatsApp shows it as a circle, so keep the face centred, or fit the whole photo inside the square.
How do I fit a full photo in my WhatsApp DP?
Use the DP resizer’s fit option: it places the whole photo inside the square so nothing important is cut.
What size is a WhatsApp Status?
1080×1920 (9:16), the same as Instagram and Facebook Stories.
Why do my WhatsApp photos look blurry?
WhatsApp compresses images. Resize to the size you need first, or send the file as a document.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Resizing happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted or stored, and you can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.
