How to compress an image toward 1 MB

A 1 MB target keeps more image detail while meeting a common maximum file-size requirement.

  1. Choose a JPG, PNG or WebP image.
  2. Keep the 1 MB target or adjust the quality if needed.
  3. Compress, review the result and download it.

Why the final size can vary

The result aims for 1 MB, but an exact byte count is not always possible. Image dimensions, format and visual complexity affect the smallest useful result; the tool may reduce dimensions when quality alone cannot reach the target.

Private by design

Your files stay on your device. Processing starts only when you choose an image, and nothing is stored on our servers.

Frequently asked questions

Will the image be exactly 1 MB?

The compressor gets as close as it can without returning an unusable image. Encoders work in quality steps, so the final file may be slightly above or below the target.

Is my image uploaded?

No. Compression runs in your browser and the file stays on your device.
