FAQ
Do WhatsApp images need a fixed target size?
Not usually. Many WhatsApp sharing and lighter mobile messaging tasks only need a lighter file. Use a fixed target size only when the destination platform publishes a specific limit.
Which image formats work best for WhatsApp images?
ForgeonX supports JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF. Keep the original format unless the receiving platform asks for a specific format.
Is my image data kept private?
Uploaded images are used only for compression and are scheduled for deletion within 12 hours. ForgeonX does not keep them as a long-term media library.
Can I compress multiple files for WhatsApp sharing and lighter mobile messaging?
Yes. ForgeonX supports batch compression, so you can prepare multiple files for WhatsApp sharing and lighter mobile messaging in one session.
