Compress image to 1 MB
Drop in your photos and each one is saved as a JPEG of at most 1 MB, in the best quality that fits that size.
What is a 1 MB photo usually needed for?
- Websites, blogs and online shops with a 1 MB limit per image.
- Emailing photos in very good quality.
- Platforms and forums that don’t accept photos over 1 MB.
How it works
- 1It tries several quality levels and keeps the highest one that fits in 1 MB. If it doesn’t fit even at the lowest quality, it gradually lowers the resolution.
- 2It saves as JPEG, which every form accepts, and removes the location data (GPS) from the photo.
- 3If a photo is already smaller, it is left as it is. Your originals are never modified.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the difference with the original noticeable?
- Almost never to the naked eye: at 1 MB the photo keeps up to 3000 px on the long edge and high quality.
- Are my photos uploaded to the internet?
- No. They are processed inside your browser; you can check it by disconnecting from the internet after the page has loaded.
- Does it pass if the form counts 1 KB as 1024 bytes?
- Yes. The strictest rule is used (1 KB = 1000 bytes), so the file stays under 1 MB however it is counted.
- Can I do it with many photos at once?
- Yes: drop in several photos or a folder and download them all together in a .zip. For huge folders, the desktop app has no limits.
