WhatsApp profile assets are deceptively simple: every one is a square upload that WhatsApp masks into a circle, with the exception of the WhatsApp Business cover image. This tool returns the recommended upload size, how each asset displays, and its crop shape so your photo stays sharp and centred instead of clipped.
How it works
Pick an asset and the tool shows three things: the recommended upload dimensions, how WhatsApp renders it, and the crop shape. Profile photos, group icons, and Channel photos are square 640×640 uploads masked into a circle — so the visible content is the largest circle that fits inside your square, and the corners are discarded. The Business cover image is the one wide asset at about 1080×608 pixels in a 16:9 landscape. A short tip under each result explains the practical trap for that asset.
Tips and example
Before exporting a profile photo, imagine a circle drawn inside your 640×640 square — anything outside that circle, including the four corners, will be cut. Centre the face or logo and leave breathing room. For a Channel photo that sits in a busy Updates list, favour a bold mark over a detailed scene so it reads at thumbnail size. For a Business cover, keep your wordmark in the central third so it survives cropping on narrow phones.
