Compress Image to 1MB

1 MB is the practical comfort zone for everyday sharing: comfortably inside the attachment limits of common email providers, and small enough that chat and messaging apps send it instantly without their own re-compression mangling it further. This tool compresses a JPG, PNG, or WebP down to about 1 MB in the browser.

With a 1 MB target the compressor barely has to touch a typical photo — it lowers quality gently and only scales the dimensions if the original is enormous. That means you keep near-original detail while shedding the wasteful bulk that modern phone cameras bake into every shot.

Since messaging apps often re-compress whatever you send, handing them a tidy 1 MB file up front gives you more control over the final quality than letting the app crush a 10 MB original.
