Compress image to 1MB
Use a target size and export WebP/JPG without uploading files.
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)
- Upload your image(s) and set Target size (KB) to 1024.
- Pick WebP or JPG and set a sensible max quality (e.g. 90–95%).
- 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.
