How to use the Compress Image to 2 MB
- Drop your images on the box, or click choose files. The target is already set to 2 MB.
- Each image is compressed to the best quality that fits under 2 MB. If even low quality is too big, it's gently made smaller in pixels too.
- Check the size shown under each result and use the before/after slider to compare.
- Click Download, or Download all for a zip.
Under 2 MB, every time
Instead of guessing a quality setting, this page searches for the highest quality that fits under 2 MB. It aims a little under the limit, because some websites count 1 KB as 1,000 bytes and others as 1,024, so your file passes either check.
Tips for small file sizes
- Photos compress best as JPG or WebP. Choose WebP for the smallest files, or JPG if the website only accepts JPG.
- PNG barely shrinks because it's lossless. For a PNG screenshot or signature, choose JPG as the format.
- Max width helps for tight limits: a passport photo doesn't need 4000 pixels. Try 800 px or 1024 px.
- Check the website's other rules too, such as required pixel dimensions or a white background. Use the image resizer for exact sizes.
Private by design
Compression happens in your browser using your device's own image engine. ID photos, signatures and documents are never uploaded anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my image still over 2 MB?
Very large or detailed images can't always reach small targets at a reasonable quality. Choose JPG or WebP as the format and a smaller Max width, then try again.
Does compressing reduce quality?
A little, but the page keeps the highest quality that fits. Use the slider to compare. At 2 MB, most photos still look sharp on screen.
Can I compress several images at once?
Yes. Drop as many as you like. Each one is compressed to the target, and you can download them all as a zip.
Is it free and safe?
Yes. It's free with no sign-up, and your images never leave your device.
