About Compress Image to 1MB

1MB is a common limit for high-quality photos on social media, websites, cloud storage and email. This tool compresses JPG, PNG and WebP images to 1MB or smaller by lowering quality and, only when needed, resolution — then shows the new size so you can check it before uploading. Everything runs on your device, so your photos stay private.

To compress an image to 1MB, add the photo, keep the target at 1 MB and click Compress — the file comes out at 1MB or less. You can compress up to 10 images at once and download them individually or as a ZIP.
