Image requirements
- Supported formats: JPG, JPEG, BMP, or PNG.
- Aspect ratio: The image must be square (equal width and height).
- Dimensions: A minimum size of 300x300 pixels is required; 500x500 pixels is the recommended default.
Tips
Use only high-resolution pictures or professional photos to ensure a clear visual identity.
Prioritize real photos for personal accounts or official logos for corporate representation.
Avoid overly large or heavy files to prevent blurred elements or illegible details caused by the messenger's automatic compression.
Use bright, high-contrast images to help the chat stand out among the many conversations.
