Compress Image to 1MB

About Compress Image to 1MB

This free tool compresses an image to under 1 MB. Phone photos usually weigh 3 to 10 MB, while email providers, upload forms, website builders and many apps stop at 1 MB. At 1 MB, a photo stays sharp enough to view full screen and even print in small formats.

For every image, the browser searches the encoder quality step by step and keeps the highest quality that still fits under 1 MB. When lowering the quality is not enough, it scales the image down gradually until it fits, and an image that is already under 1 MB is kept as it is. A target counts 1 KB as 1,000 bytes, so the file also passes the strictest upload checks.

You can add up to 30 images at once, save them as JPG or WebP (or keep the original format), cap the width and height, and download one file or everything as a ZIP. Nothing is uploaded: the compression runs entirely in your browser, so your photos stay private. Need another size? Pick any other chip or type your own value.

How to use Compress Image to 1MB

1. The 1 MB target is already selected; change it if your form asks for another size.
2. Choose the output format: JPG, WebP or the same as the original.
3. Drop up to 30 images (JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF), or paste one with Ctrl+V.
4. Check each result with the before and after slider and its final size.
5. Download a single image, or all of them as a ZIP file.
