Frequently asked questions
How do I compress a photo to 1MB?
Choose your photo above. The size is already set to 1MB, so the tool lowers the quality step by step, and shrinks the pixel size only if needed, until the file fits.
What if the photo cannot reach 1MB?
Very large or detailed photos may need to be smaller in pixels. Use the Resize option (percentage or custom width and height) and try again.
Can I compress many photos at once?
Yes. Select several photos together and each one is compressed to the size you set.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs inside your own browser, so your photo stays on your device. That makes it suitable for ID photos and signatures.
Is this tool free?
Yes. It is free, needs no sign-up, and has no limit on the number of photos.
