How to compress image to 1 MB

  1. Choose your image

    Drop a photo, scan or screenshot. You can add several at once.

  2. Set 1 MB as the limit

    Pick a preset or type your own limit, and a minimum if the form has one.

  3. Set the dimensions if asked

    Enter the exact pixels, centimetres or inches and the DPI that the instructions give.

  4. Download

    Check the size shown next to each file, then download it, or all files as a zip.

What fits in 1 MB

A lot. In our tests a detailed photo of 2,000 x 2,500 pixels came to about 530 to 690 KB at good quality, so 1 MB keeps a photo large enough to print or view full screen. Most phone photos only need a moderate drop in quality to get there.

Questions

How do I reduce a photo to under 1 MB?

Choose the photo, keep 1 MB as the limit and download. The tool keeps the full size when it can and shrinks only if quality alone is not enough.

Is 1 MB 1,000,000 or 1,048,576 bytes?

Sites differ, so the tool aims under 1,000,000 bytes, which passes both.

Is my image uploaded?

No. The image is compressed by your browser on your device, and nothing is sent to uncrop.si or anyone else.
