My image is 1000x1000mm. Do I need to convert that to pixels in Photoshop?

Why do you need to convert the image in any case?
Squoosh can do it all, it is my go-to nowadays.

Any app could work, also the one recommended by RedViking should you want to do it on your mobile.
Squoosh is a compression and resize product by Google Chrome Labs, so it is experimental, though I am using it now in web-related production workloads,

Squoosh is the ultimate image optimizer that allows you to compress and compare images with different codecs in your browser.
You can run it in Chrome on your mobile, and you can also install it as an 'extension' though it is the app loaded in the Chrome browser which can also be done on mobile. It still lacks mobile optimisation though...

My design work is all done in Photoshop as tiff files (around 450Mb). I need to put 9 files on one sheet, so we are at 3-4 Gb! When I save as a jpeg, it's still rather largeAny app could work, also the one recommended by RedViking should you want to do it on your mobile.

If the person you're sending to needs the full-sized image then rather just email them or store on a cloud service (google drive, dropbox etc.). Not sure why you need to do this via whatsapp anyway.My design work is all done in Photoshop as tiff files (around 450Mb). I need to put 9 files on one sheet, so we are at 3-4 Gb!

Would help if you said if they need the uncompressed image for printing etc. or if they just need to see the image & don't need high quality.

Cos it shows up as 20000x20000 "somethings"
Squoosh? Please elaborate sir
You don't really want to compress it more. Rather resize it to 2000 x 2000 or something similar. You can use photoshop or irfanview if you are on PC.

Cloud sharing is the better option. Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, etc. are all more appropriate options. Securities can also be put in place to authorise the appropriate users with access.
