About this tool

WhatsApp Status Size Resizer

WhatsApp status photos fill a phone screen, which is tall and narrow (9:16). Wide photos end up small with big black bars, and very large files are compressed heavily, which makes them blurry.

Upload any photo and it's cropped to 1080 × 1920 px. Move the slider to choose which part stays in the frame, or add a border to keep the whole picture, then download a sharp JPG ready to upload to WhatsApp.

Keep text and faces away from the very top and bottom, where the status bar and reply box cover the picture.
