LocalPixWhatsApp often hands you a .webp, or a JPEG that is still larger than a 200 KB or 1 MB mailbox rule. Email clients and office scanners are the receivers that complain. This is that hand-off, not a general compress page. If the file is WebP, start with WebP to JPG. If it is already JPEG, go straight to Compress to KB. AVIF saved from a browser is a different scene: Chrome saved an AVIF.
A short workflow
- Save the chat image to the device. Note the type. WebP and JPEG are the common ones. HEIC from the phone camera, not from chat, starts at HEIC to JPG.
- WebP: open WebP to JPG. The browser decodes and re-encodes locally. If it cannot decode, you get an error, not an upload.
- Type the mailbox cap in Compress to KB. 100, 200, and 500 KB are spelled out in attachment caps. About 1 MB is 1000.
- Attach the new JPG. Do not attach the original WebP — many inboxes still show it as a broken icon. See when an inbox rejects WebP.
- Optional: verify local. Conversion and compress do not use the background-removal quota and do not need Pro.
What this is not
- Not a WhatsApp client and not a way to download other people's chats from WhatsApp's servers.
- Not an exact-byte guarantee. The JPEG search lands at or under the cap.
- Not a background removal. A cutout is a separate tool and has its own daily HD limit.
FAQ
The export is WebP and Outlook will not show it.
Convert to JPG first. Older Outlook often refuses WebP and AVIF. Then shrink if the JPG is still over the cap.
It did not hit the KB number exactly.
The search keeps the largest quality that fits. Under the cap is the goal. Raise the number if text goes soft.
Is the photo uploaded?
No. Decode and the quality search stay in the tab. Verify local.
