Compressing high-resolution photos to 1MB

Modern cameras and phones produce 5–15MB images that are too heavy for many forms and web pages. A 1MB target keeps almost all of the original detail while cutting the file dramatically. The tool maximises quality under 1MB automatically, so you get a light file that still looks great.

Frequently asked questions

How much quality is lost compressing to 1MB?

Very little. 1MB is a large budget for a single image, so the tool can keep high JPEG quality while still cutting the file size several times over.

Can I compress a RAW or HEIC photo?

Yes — HEIC is supported directly, and RAW/DNG files are read via their embedded full-size preview.

Is my photo uploaded?

No, everything is processed locally in your browser.
