Showing 6 of 6 recommendations
Dimensions01
Always Use Square 1:1 Aspect Ratio (500×500 to 1024×1024 px)
WhatsApp Business catalogue grids strictly display square product thumbnails. Rectangular or panoramic photos will get cropped or display with distracting letterboxing.
Do: Resize all product photos to square 1:1 (recommended: 800×800 or 1000×1000 px).
Don't: Don't upload vertical 9:16 or horizontal 16:9 shots without cropping first.
Backgrounds02
Opt for Solid Neutral or Clean White Backgrounds
Product images appear on both light and dark mobile themes. Clean white or soft grey backgrounds maximize product contrast and convey a professional storefront feel.
Do: Shoot products on plain, uncluttered backgrounds with soft even lighting.
Don't: Don't use busy patterned backdrops that distract from product details.
File Size03
Keep Compressed Images Under 2 MB for Fast Loading
While WhatsApp catalogue permits up to 5 MB per photo, customers browsing on mobile data will abandon slow-loading catalogues. 300–800 KB is the sweet spot.
Do: Export as high-quality WebP or compressed JPG to ensure rapid catalogue browsing.
Don't: Don't upload uncompressed 15 MB RAW camera exports directly from your phone.
Composition04
Leave 10% Margin Padding Around the Product
Center your product with a comfortable breathing margin around all four edges so circular thumbnails or slight edge cropping doesn't cut off product corners.
Do: Keep the main item centered and filling approximately 80–85% of the canvas.
Don't: Don't let the product touch the very edges of the image boundary.
Clutter & Text05
Keep Images Clean of Heavy Watermarks and Prices
WhatsApp provides dedicated fields for price, SKU, product title, and description. Adding loud promotional banners or phone numbers directly on the image looks amateurish.
Do: Let the product photograph speak for itself; put pricing in the official price field.
Don't: Don't plaster promotional slogans, huge discount stickers, or dense text on photos.
Showcase Variety06
Upload 3 to 5 Angles per Catalogue Product
Include a primary hero shot, a side/back view, a close-up of material or texture, and a lifestyle/scale reference to minimize buyer hesitation and return inquiries.
Do: Show how the item looks in real life or being used by a customer.
Don't: Don't upload multiple identical photos with barely discernible differences.
Pro-Tip for Maximum Conversions
Always test your WhatsApp assets (links, messages, images, and QR codes) on both mobile and desktop before launching marketing campaigns or printing physical collateral.

Technical Specifications & Best Practices
- ✓WhatsApp Business catalogues enforce a maximum file size limit (typically under 5MB per image); our tool automatically exports compressed, web-ready files.
- ✓The tool prepares the image for upload; you must still upload the resulting file into your WhatsApp Business app under Settings > Business Tools > Catalogue.
- ✓Extremely low-resolution source images (e.g. under 300px) may appear pixelated when scaled up to 1080px; always provide the highest quality source possible.
- ✓Only static image formats (JPEG, PNG, WebP) are supported for catalogue listings; animated GIFs cannot be used as catalogue products.
