WhatsApp has strict file size limits and compresses images further when sent. Pre-compressing HEIC to 100-300 KB preserves quality and ensures fast delivery.

WhatsApp has strict file size limits and compresses images aggressively when sent. iPhone HEIC photos are typically 2-4 MB — often too large. Pre-compressing to 100-300 KB ensures fast delivery and preserves quality (since WhatsApp won't compress further).

The compressor decodes the HEIC image and re-encodes it at WhatsApp-friendly quality — typically 100-300 KB. The output is a smaller HEIC that plays natively on iPhone and shares quickly via WhatsApp.

HDR data is lost
