Why won’t WhatsApp send my photo?
The file is usually too heavy, especially an iPhone HEIC. Fotly turns it into a smaller JPG in this tab, then you share that file.
What size works for WhatsApp?
A JPG under a couple of megabytes, with the long side around 1,920 pixels or less, sends as a normal photo. Use Medium for chats. Use Maximum if the app still refuses it.
Does the photo go to Fotly?
No. Compression runs in this browser tab. We never receive the picture.
