About this tool
A 1 MB limit is common on government portals, email services and social sites that reject larger uploads.
A 12-megapixel phone photo usually fits in 1 MB at high quality without being resized at all.
1 MB here means 1024 KB. The result always lands just under it, so strict upload checks accept it.
Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Everything happens inside your browser, on your own device. Your files are never sent anywhere, and the tool keeps working even if you go offline after the page has loaded.
Will the file be exactly 1 MB?
It will be just under 1 MB. Upload forms reject files that are even 1 byte over, so the tool always stays below the limit.
Does it work with iPhone photos?
Yes. HEIC photos from an iPhone are converted and compressed in one step.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.
