Frequently Asked Questions
When should I compress an image to 1MB rather than smaller sizes?
A 1MB target is ideal when submitting images for print publications, large digital signage, online art contests, and photo printing services where ultra-high resolution (300 DPI) and maximum texture detail are required, but upload portals enforce a 1MB file size ceiling.
Can I convert large TIFF or BMP files to 1MB JPGs?
Yes. The compressor accepts uncompressed TIFF, BMP, PNG, and high-bitrate JPEG files, converting them into a high-fidelity 1MB JPG in milliseconds.
Does compressing to 1MB strip color profiles or EXIF metadata?
You have the option to preserve or strip metadata. Stripping EXIF tags allocates more of the 1MB budget directly to image pixel quality.
Is there any software installation required?
No. The compressor runs directly in any modern web browser without plugins, extensions, or server uploads.
