Summary
This tool prepares images to fit as a vertical WhatsApp status. The commonly used size is 1080 x 1920 pixels with a 9:16 ratio, so landscape photos need to be cut or added to empty space. You can set the part of the image you want to preserve, and then download the result. The process usually runs directly in the browser so the photos don't need to be sent to the server.
Key points
- WhatsApp status canvas is 1080 x 1920 pixels with a ratio of 9:16
- Crop cuts off the image, while the fit adds a blank space so the entire image is visible
- Previews help ensure that important faces or objects are not cut off
- The JPG format is suitable for photos, whereas PNG is useful when you need a transparent background
- Browser-based tools generally process images locally without uploading
