How to Upload WhatsApp DP Without Losing Quality?
To ensure quick loading and faster image transmission, WhatsApp uses a compression algorithm that compresses the quality of the image. This may result in low-resolution photos, to avoid this, follow the below methods.
Method1 – Save the Image in PNG Format
PNG format helps retain the quality of the image even after compression. If your images are saved in JPEG or any other format, try saving them in PNG instead.
Here is how we can do this:-
- First of all, You can go to freeconvert.com/png-converter
- Then, Tap on Choose File> From Device (select where you have stored the image)
- After uploading the image, tap on Convert.
- Lastly, after converting the image tap on Download
The reason we used the FreeConvert tool in this article is it will delete your uploaded photos after 8 hours. So you don’t have to worry about your privacy.
Method 2 – Crop Photo As Per WhatsApp Resolution – 500 x 500
To mitigate the effects of compression, crop your WhatsApp DP to the optimal resolution. For WhatsApp DP, sizes 500 x 500 square photos are considered optimal.
Crop out your photo into optimal resolution, here is how you can do so:
- Go to canva.com or download the Canva app from the App Store or the Play Store.
- On Canva, tap on Create a design > Custom design > set height and width to 500 x 500.
- Now, Upload your photo by tapping on Upload > Share > Download.
For best results, save your image as PNG.
Method 3 – Compress Your Image Manually
If your image is large, the WhatsApp algorithm will surely compress your image for quick loading. However, you can avoid this by decreasing the size of your image by manually compressing it.
In this way, you won’t lose the quality of your image
Here is how you can compress your image without losing its quality.
- Go to compressnow.com.
- Tap on Upload to upload your images
- You will see a compression level, where you can select a percentage for compression. For light and optimal compression 19-20% is good, for heavy compression, you can select 40 – 45%.
