The details
WhatsApp publishes no official spec; 500×500 square is the widely recommended upload and displays at roughly 200×200, cropped to a circle. Larger squares also work — WhatsApp crops and downscales on upload.
Safe area: Cropped to a circle and often shown around 200×200 or smaller — center the subject with generous margin.
