About This Use Case

Frequently Asked Questions
What image size works best for WhatsApp?
A moderate resolution with smart compression usually gives the best balance. Test one export and adjust quality if text or faces lose detail.
Will compression remove metadata?
Most optimized exports drop unnecessary metadata, which also helps reduce file size.
Can I compress images without uploading to a server?
Yes. ToolCenterLab image tools run locally in the browser and do not require cloud upload.
Should I resize before or after compressing?
Resize first when dimensions are too large, then compress. This usually produces smaller files with better visual quality.
