Frequently Asked Questions
How do I compress a photo to exactly 1 MB?
Upload your image — Target-size mode is already set to 1 MB — and click Compress. The tool automatically tunes the quality to stay within 1 MB.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Compression happens entirely in your browser; your files never leave your device.
What if 1 MB can't be reached without heavy quality loss?
For very small targets the tool will, if needed, also reduce the resolution to reach 1 MB, and it tells you when it does.
Is it free and watermark-free?
Yes — free, no signup and no watermark. You can process up to 20 files and download a ZIP.
