Optimization Tips

WhatsApp compresses media to reduce bandwidth. Images are resized to 1600px and compressed. Videos are compressed to 640px resolution for faster sharing. Sending as a document bypasses compression entirely.

For sharper images, use PNG format which handles WhatsApp's compression better than JPEG. For videos, keep clips under 16MB to avoid excessive compression. Use H.264 codec for best compatibility.

To send full-quality photos on WhatsApp, attach them as documents (not as media). Videos under 64MB can be sent, but WhatsApp will still apply compression. For business accounts, use the WhatsApp Business API for higher quality limits.
