Open a photo of any size and it comes out under 1 MB automatically, at the highest quality that fits. A modern phone shoots 4 to 10 MB per picture; this page brings that down below a megabyte while keeping the photo looking essentially unchanged, because 1 MB is generous room for a full resolution JPG. The size card shows exactly how much was saved, and the preview is the true compressed image.
A 1 MB cap shows up wherever many images travel together: email providers that choke on big attachments, content systems and forums with per file limits, marketplace listings, newsletters and support tickets. Compress each photo here and attachments send instantly instead of bouncing. If your limit is different, type any target in the box or tap another preset; 100 KB and 2 MB are one tap away.
Every common cap has its own page that opens ready to go: compress image to 20 KB, 30 KB, 50 KB, 100 KB or 2 MB. For a free quality slider and any custom target, use the main Compress Image tool. The full compressor collection shows every cap side by side.
At 1 MB most photos keep their full dimensions and simply drop to a leaner encoding; the difference from the original is invisible in normal viewing. When a truly enormous image cannot fit, the tool quietly scales it just enough. WebP on the download button squeezes the same quality into even fewer bytes when the receiver supports it.
The photo is compressed in your browser and saved straight back to your device. Nothing is uploaded anywhere, there is no queue and no account, and the tool works offline once the page is open.
Open the photo and the tool automatically finds the highest quality that keeps it under 1 MB, scaling dimensions only for truly enormous images. Check the preview and download; the size shown there is the real encoded size, not an estimate.
Rarely anything you can see. 1 MB is enough for a full resolution JPG at high quality, so most photos just get a leaner encoding. The preview shows the actually compressed image so you can confirm.
Mail limits apply to the whole message, and several photos add up. Compress each one here, or aim lower per photo: tap the 100 KB preset, or type any number in the target box.
No. Everything happens in your browser; the compressed photo saves directly back to your device. No server is involved at any point.
