Frequently Asked Questions

How do I compress an image to 1MB?

Upload your JPG, PNG or WebP, the quality slider is preset to about 88% to land near 1MB, then click Compress and download. Everything runs in your browser — your image is never uploaded.

Why pick 1MB for email attachments?

Gmail, Outlook and most corporate mail servers stay snappy with attachments under 1 MB. 1MB keeps the inbox light while preserving photo quality for the recipient.

Is 1 MB enough for printing a passport-size photo at home?

Yes — a 1 MB JPEG at ~300 DPI is sharp enough for passport, visa and school ID photo prints up to 4×6 inches.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. All compression runs locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Your files never leave your device — safe for Aadhaar, PAN, marksheets and other sensitive uploads.

Does it support JPG, PNG and WebP?

Yes. Upload any of JPG, JPEG, PNG or WebP. Output is encoded as JPEG because JPEG hits the smallest size at each KB target, which is what government portals expect.

Is this compressor really free with no signup?

Yes — 100% free, no signup, no watermarks, no daily limit. Compress as many images as you need.
