Make an image under 1 MB
A 1 MB cap is the gentle one. Every photo we tried fit at its full width and height; only the quality came down, and even a 13.8 MB camera photo kept quality 61.

What 1 MB costs a photo
An 18-megapixel photo of the Golden Gate Bridge went from 13.8 MB to just under the limit at its full 5388 by 3368 pixels, quality 61. A 6-megapixel waterfall photo kept quality 81 and a 4.3-megapixel photo of people kept 90, which is hard to tell from the original on a screen. Images already well under the limit come back at quality 92.
When a form still says too big
This tool counts 1 MB as 1,024 KB, which is 1,048,576 bytes. Some forms mean 1,000,000 bytes, and our bridge photo, at 1,046,965 bytes, would fail those. If a file is refused, choose Custom under File size and type 950.
The details that come off
Every re-saved photo leaves without its camera details and GPS location. The picture looks the same; the hidden data is gone.
Your files stay with you
The images are processed on your own device. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored, and you don’t need an account. Close the tab and they’re gone.
