Frequently asked questions
- How do I compress an image to 1 MB?
- Drop your photo in. The target is already set to 1 MB. Download it when it's ready; the list shows the final size. You can drop many photos at once.
- How do I get a photo under 1 MB without it looking worse?
- Usually only a little compression is needed. Most phone photos fit under 1 MB at full resolution or with a slight resize, with no visible change.
- What if it can't get under 1 MB?
- It keeps shrinking the image until it fits. In the rare case it can't, the list says so and you get the smallest version it could make.
- Are my photos uploaded?
- No. Every image is processed by your own browser, on your device. Nothing is sent to a server.
