Creating Headers in WhatsApp Templates

Add a header to your template to emphasize the most important information.

The following header types are available:

TypeDescription
TextText header has bold font and with increased spacing between the header and body text. The maximum length is 60 characters.
VideoThe maximum size of a video is 5 MB. The supported formats are .mp4 and .3gpp.
ImageThe maximum size of an image is 5 MB. The supported formats are .jpeg, .jpg, and .png.
FileThe maximum size of an image is 5 MB. The supported format is .pdf.

You don’t have to attach the actual video, image, or file header. With these header types, you can select a new header for each broadcast.

You cannot change header type after your template is approved. For example, if your template was approved with an image header, you cannot attach a video or a file to custom templates based on it.
