Common questions
My photo is already under 1 MB. Is there any point?
Probably not for the size limit itself, but there may be for speed. A 900 KB photo on a web page will still be the slowest thing on it. If the file is already small, compressing further mostly costs quality for little gain.
How do I compress an image to 1 MB?
Add your image to the tool on this page. It is already set to a 1 MB target, so it will search for the highest quality that lands under that size and show you the result next to the original. Then download it.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The work happens in your browser using image APIs it already ships with, so the file never leaves your device. There is no upload to wait for and nothing stored on a server afterwards.
