About this tool
When you send a photo on WhatsApp, the app re-compresses it aggressively to save bandwidth — which is why forwarded images often look muddy. Starting with a leaner ~100 KB file, tuned for clarity, means WhatsApp has less to strip and your recipient sees a sharper picture on mobile data. This landing preconfigures the compressor for that target. All processing is local; we do not send anything to WhatsApp.
