How to reduce the size of WhatsApp photos without losing quality

Free up space on your phone or computer by bringing WhatsApp photos down from ~200 KB to ~150 KB, without uploading them anywhere and keeping their dates.

  1. 1Copy the «WhatsApp Images» folder from your phone to your computer.
  2. 2Open FeatherFiles and drop the folder in: WhatsApp photos are detected automatically by their name (IMG-YYYYMMDD-WA…).
  3. 3Click «Optimize now» and save the .zip. When you unzip it, every photo keeps its original date.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to the internet?
No. Everything happens in your browser: you can check it by disconnecting from the internet after the page has loaded.
What if a photo is already under 150 KB?
It is copied as it is. FeatherFiles never re-compresses something that is already optimized, and never makes a file bigger.
