Perplexity2. What is it for?
640 × 640 pixels. Square. WhatsApp doesn't publish an exact size — 640 × 640 is our recommendation. The photo shows as a circle, so keep your logo in the middle.
3. How should it fit?
Your image is resized on your own device — it is never uploaded. Meta's file rules are from Meta for Developers; sizes marked "recommended" or "suggestion" are ours, because WhatsApp doesn't publish exact ones.

Image resizer FAQ
What is the right size for a WhatsApp profile photo?+
WhatsApp doesn't publish an exact size. A square image such as 640 × 640 works well; keep your logo in the middle, because the photo is shown as a circle.
What is the file limit for images in WhatsApp templates?+
Meta allows JPEG or PNG images up to 5 MB for messages and template image headers.
What size should catalogue images be?+
Meta asks for JPEG or PNG images of at least 500 × 500 pixels, up to 8 MB. A square 1080 × 1080 image is a safe choice.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?+
No. The image is resized inside your browser and downloaded straight to your device.
Should I choose JPG or PNG?+
JPG for photos — the files are smaller. PNG for logos and images with text, which stay sharper.
