How to compress an image to 1MB
- Choose your photo or drop it into the box.
- Keep the target at 1 MB, or change it to any size you need.
- Check the preview, then download the new file.
The tool tries the best JPEG quality that fits under your limit. If the quality alone is not enough, it reduces the image dimensions a little at a time until the file fits.
Why 1MB?
A 1MB limit is a common cap for uploads on forms, job sites and email. Most phone photos are bigger than this, so a compressor helps you fit under the limit while keeping the picture clear.
Questions
Will a 1MB image look sharp?
Yes for most photos. At 1MB the quality loss is usually hard to see on a phone screen.
What is 1MB good for?
Form uploads, email attachments and web pages.
Is my image uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser.
Can I use a different size?
Yes. Type any number of KB in the target box.
