    How to use it

    1. Choose or drop one or more photos.
    2. Each file is saved under 1 MB at the best quality that fits.
    3. Download them one by one, or all together as a ZIP.

    Getting under 1 MB without visible loss

    Online applications, school portals and support forms often allow files up to 1 MB. At 1 MB there is plenty of room for a sharp, full-size photo: the tool usually only needs to lower the JPG quality slightly, which you will not notice on screen.

    PNG files cannot be compressed by lowering quality, so when a PNG is over the limit the tool saves it as a JPG. If you need to keep PNG, choose it under Format and the tool will reduce the dimensions instead.

    Questions

    Is 1 MB counted as 1000 KB or 1024 KB?

    It depends on the website. The tool keeps the file at or below 1,000,000 bytes, which is under the limit either way.

    Can I resize many photos at once?

    Yes. Select or drop as many as you like. Each one is processed on your device, and a "Download all as ZIP" button appears when two or more are ready.

    Will the photo keep its location data?

    No. Saving through the browser removes EXIF metadata, including GPS location and camera details. That is usually what you want before sharing a photo.

    Is my photo uploaded to a server?

    No. The resizing runs inside your browser with JavaScript, so the image stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose to share it with "Share by link" in the Download step. Once the page has loaded, resizing keeps working even if you go offline. If your device can't handle an image, the tool can shrink it on our server instead, but only if you agree, and it is deleted right away.
