Compress image to 2 MB
Select your file, check settings and save a new copy. Your original file remains unchanged.
When is this limit useful?
2 MB can be a working target for application photos and product images. The recipient sets the actual limit.
How do I reach the target?
Select 2 MB as the target and check the measured result. Not every file can reach this limit.
- Select a file and check the target.
- Start compression.
- Compare file bytes, image details and pixel dimensions.
- Save a new copy and keep the original.
Why is the file still rejected?
This tool uses 1,024 bytes per KB and 1,024 KB per MB; a portal may use 1,000-based units. Leave margin, for example 1.8 MB instead of 2 MB. Check the actual file bytes and accepted file format. Minimum and maximum pixel dimensions may also be required.
What helps with a file that remains too large?
Reduce pixel dimensions if the recipient allows smaller images. Crop unnecessary borders and inspect details before reducing quality further. For photos, JPG can be smaller than PNG if JPG is accepted and transparency is not needed.
