How to use it
- Drop your image (JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC).
- The target is already set to 1 MB. Change it on the right if you need to.
- Download your compressed image under 1 MB.
When do you need an image under 1 MB?
Limits like this are typical for email attachments, online forms and websites that need fast-loading images. If your form also requires exact pixel dimensions, use the exam photo resizer or image resizer instead.
Frequently asked questions
How do I reduce a photo to 1 MB?
Drop it on this page. The tool finds the best JPEG quality that keeps the file under 1 MB, and only shrinks the pixel size if it really has to.
How does it hit an exact size like 50 KB?
It searches for the highest JPEG quality that stays under your limit, so you get the best-looking image the size allows. If even low quality is too big, it gently reduces the pixel dimensions.
Will compression reduce quality?
Some detail is always traded for a smaller file, but the tool keeps as much quality as possible. Photos usually look the same on screen down to 100 to 200 KB.
Is there a file limit?
No limit on the number of files. Very large images (over 50 megapixels) may be slow on older phones because everything runs on your device.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Compression happens in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, so it's safe for ID documents and personal photos.
