Open compressor (1MB target) →Compression basics
TL;DR
  • Size: 1MB target (best-effort).
  • Format: WebP for smaller photos, JPG for compatibility.
  • Often you can keep higher quality at 1MB.
3 steps (using this tool)
  1. Upload your image(s) and set Target size (KB) to 1024.
  2. Pick WebP or JPG and set a sensible max quality (e.g. 90–95%).
  3. Compress and download, then verify file size.
Recommended defaults
  • Target size: 1MB (1024KB)
  • Format: JPG for compatibility, WebP for smaller files
  • Max quality: 90–95%
Troubleshooting
  • If still too big: downscale (max width/height).
  • If you need higher quality: allow a slightly larger size target.
  • If a platform does not accept WebP: switch to JPG.

FAQ

Do you upload my images?

No. Processing happens locally in your browser. Your files are not uploaded.

What size should I use?

Use the recommended size.

Which export format should I use?

JPG for photos, PNG for text/logos or transparency, WebP for smaller files (if supported).

Crop vs Pad — what is the difference?

Crop fills the target size (may cut edges). Pad fits the whole image and adds background/space.

How do I protect text and logos?

Keep important content centered and avoid placing critical text at the edges.

Can I batch resize?

Yes. Use the Batch Resizer to apply the same size to many images.
