Frequently Asked Questions

How do I compress a 5MB photo to 1MB?
Upload your photo to this tool. It's already set to compress to 1MB. The compressor will adjust quality to bring the file under 1MB. For a 5MB photo, the quality reduction is minimal and usually invisible.
Will compressing to 1MB affect print quality?
For standard prints (4x6, 5x7), a 1MB JPEG is usually fine. For large prints or professional use, keep the original file. Our tool is designed for digital use like web, email, and screen viewing.
