About WhatsApp images
WhatsApp is primarily a messaging platform with minimal branding options. The profile photo is the main visual identity element.
Since WhatsApp is used globally across a huge range of devices, profile photos need to work at small sizes on both low and high resolution screens.
Best practices
- Center the subject for the circular crop — corners are hidden.
- Use a clear headshot for personal or a logo for business accounts.
- Good lighting and contrast ensure readability at chat-list sizes.
