WhatsApp Status tools
Updated 2026-08-15
These browser-based tools help with different planning jobs for WhatsApp Status. To work with dimensions, use the aspect ratio and crop-versus-fit calculators. To plan for on-screen text, the safe zone tool provides adjustable margins on a 9:16 guide. For file size planning, the bitrate calculator gives an approximate result based on duration and data rates. The duration and parts-order tools perform split arithmetic using fixed intervals.
A repeatable method
If you need to inspect a file's basic properties, the media compatibility tool can report its type, size, dimensions, and duration as seen by the browser. To see how a local image or video might look in a 9:16 frame, use the framing preview. These are the only two tools here that use a file picker. The compatibility check cannot certify every internal codec, and the framing view is a preview, not a saved edit.
Make the decision before exporting
The two split-planning tools in the browser use fixed intervals, which can result in a short final part. This behavior is different from the VividStatus iPhone app, which treats the selected duration as a maximum and divides the source media into evenly sized parts. The browser tool's output should be used as its own plan, not as a preview of the app's splitting behavior.
Practical target
A tool provides a useful result when it answers the selected question with checkable numbers or a local preview, leaving your original file unchanged. Before preparing your media, independently verify any relevant constraint in the intended editor or configuration with disposable media. VividStatus and these browser tools do not detect a live WhatsApp limit. If a tool here helps identify a property but does not solve your underlying issue, proceed to a relevant troubleshooting guide for more specific steps.
