You can share photos, videos, documents, and audio messages using Whatsapp and get in touch with anyone around the world as long as you have the internet.
However, if you’ve been using Whatsapp for a while then you might have noticed that images get compressed when shared with someone. While a great way to save data and improve connectivity, it can sometimes prevent you from receiving RAW and uncompressed images. Here’s how you can get past the same by sending your image as a document on Whatsapp instead.
Photos are compressed by Whatsapp when shared with your contacts using the in-built options. This helps save data, improve connectivity times and even save space on your devices.
However, this image compression is automatic which can cause you to lose many details from high-resolution photos. As this compression can be high as 98% which might not be ideal if you’re looking to share RAW or HD images professionally.
In such cases, you can choose to send your images as a document over Whatsapp.
Sending images as a document will allow you to send them in their original format with their original quality intact, as long as they do not exceed the 16MB sharing limit enforced by Whatsapp.

Here’s how you can send Photos as a document whether using iOS or Android. Follow either of the methods below depending on your device to help you along with the process.
iOS users can either save their photo to the Files app and then send it as a document. This can sometimes lead to image compression depending on your image format.
If that happens to be the case, you can try changing your file extension instead to easily share an uncompressed photo over Whatsapp. Follow the steps below to help you along with the process.
Open the Photos app and tap and open the photo you wish to send as a document.
Now tap the Share icon at the bottom.
Tap and select Save to Files.

Tap and select Document.
Now tap and select the Photo we recently added to the Files app.
Tap Open.
You will now be shown a preview for the selected image. Tap Send if everything seems up to mark.
The selected image will now be shared with the selected person as a document on Whatsapp.
If you noticed that your image was still compressed by Whatsapp when sharing it as a document, you can change its file extension and then share it with the concerned.
This will send an unaltered document to the recipient who can then rename the file to the original extension to open the image on their device. Follow the steps below to help you along with the process.
Open the Photos app and tap and open the Photo you wish to send as a document on Whatsapp.
Now tap the Share icon.
Select Save to Files.
Choose a desired destination for the photo in the Files app and tap Save.
The photo will now be saved to the Files app. Open the same and navigate to the recently saved photo. Now tap the 3-dot menu icon in the top right corner.
Scroll down and select View Options.
Now tap and select Show All Extensions.
Extensions should now be visible for all files in the given folder. Tap and hold on the concerned image.

You can also enter a custom file extension if needed. Confirm your choice once you’re prompted.
Once changed, open Whatsapp and navigate to the conversation where you wish to send an uncompressed image.
Tap the + icon.
Select Document.
Now select the renamed photo from the Files app.
Tap Open once selected.
The file will now be opened in Whatsapp. Tap Send in the top right corner.

And that’s it! You will now have shared an uncompressed image via Whatsapp by changing its file extension.
If you’re an Android user, then you can choose to send the image as a document directly from your File Explorer. If that does not work for you, you can change the file extension and send your image instead. Follow either of the methods below depending on your current needs and requirements.
Open Whatsapp and open the concerned chat where you wish to send the image as a document.
Tap the Paperclip icon.
Tap and select Document.
Your File Explorer will now be opened within Whatsapp. Tap Browse other docs to open File Explorer independently.

Once selected, tap the 3-dot menu icon in the top right corner of your screen and select Rename.
