FAQ

Can I set 1MB exactly?

Yes. Choose MB mode and target 1MB directly in the size control.

Is MB mode available for all formats?

Yes, though JPEG and WebP are most effective for strict size limits.

Does compression reduce image dimensions automatically?

Only when needed to reach the requested target.

Common situations for this workflow

Email attachments and web forms that block images larger than 1MB.

Profile, listing, or blog images where staying under 1MB keeps pages loading fast.

Large camera or phone photos that need to slim down without a visible quality drop.

Checklist before you upload

Switch the size control to MB mode and target 1MB directly.

Use JPEG or WebP for the strongest compression at this size.

Only reduce dimensions when compression alone cannot get the file under 1MB.

Tips to hit the target faster

1MB is generous for a single image, so you can usually keep full resolution and high quality.

WebP often lands well under 1MB while looking identical to a larger JPEG.

Compress from the original high-quality file to avoid stacking quality loss from earlier saves.
