Compress an image to 1 MB

Many upload forms reject files larger than 1 MB, and phone photos often weigh 3–8 MB. Add your images below: the 1 MB target is selected and, in most cases, the result keeps its full resolution.

How to compress an image to 1 MB

Add your photos (JPG, PNG or WebP) by dragging them or tapping “Select images”.
Keep the 1 MB target, or switch to a custom size such as 2 MB or 800 KB.
Download each image or all of them as a ZIP file.

Quality at 1 MB

For most photos, 1 MB is generous. A 12-megapixel JPG usually fits at a quality where the difference from the original is very hard to see, without changing its dimensions. That makes this setting a good choice when you want to keep photos printable or zoomable.

Very large or noisy images — for example, night photos or 48-megapixel shots — may need slightly smaller dimensions. The tool handles that automatically if resizing is allowed.

Screenshots and PNG files

Large PNG screenshots can easily exceed 1 MB. The tool first tries to keep them lossless and, if needed, reduces the number of colours, which is usually invisible on interface screenshots and keeps transparency intact.

Common questions

Will my photo lose resolution?

Usually not at 1 MB. Dimensions are reduced only when quality adjustments alone are not enough, and you can disable that option.

Can I choose a different size, like 2 MB?

Yes. Choose “Custom”, type the size and select KB or MB.

Are my photos stored anywhere?

No. They are processed in your browser and disappear when you close or reload the page.
