How to Compress Images for WhatsApp Web & App Sharing
WhatsApp automatically compresses photo sharing, but this often ruins the details of structural images, screenshots, or drawings. By resizing your image beforehand using ResizeKB, you can reduce the file weight (often from 6MB down to 200KB or 300KB) while limiting resolution to 1600px width. Sending this file as a document or standard attachment preserves high pixel clarity while saving valuable mobile bandwidth.
