How it works
- Choose or drag your image into the box above. The limit is already set to 1 MB.
- We try different quality levels and, if necessary, slightly smaller dimensions.
- Download your image: guaranteed 1 MB or smaller whenever it is possible.
When do you need an image of 1 MB?
A 1 MB limit is common for email attachments, online marketplaces, contact forms and support tickets. Most phone photos can reach 1 MB with no visible loss in quality.
How we get to 1 MB
We first try to stay at the original dimensions and only lower the quality as far as needed. If an image cannot reach 1 MB with acceptable quality, it is scaled down step by step, because a smaller sharp photo looks better than a large blurry one.
