Compress a photo to 2 MB without uploading
The 2 MB preset is for when you were given a relatively generous cap and want to keep more detail than a 200 or 500 KB file would allow.
No upload. Files never leave your device.
Drop images here
JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP, and TIFF are welcome. Multiple files are fine. Output is always JPEG so the size cap can be met.
Results
No files yet. Nothing is sent to a server when you add them.
A looser cap when detail still matters
Some content systems, job portals, and document-upload forms allow a couple of megabytes per image. That is usually enough for a detailed product photo or a fairly sharp page photo, after a light compress.
If the form also lists a pixel dimension, check that separately — this tool targets file weight, not a specific width. Very large originals may still be scaled down if a high-quality JPEG would otherwise miss the 2 MB cap. Nothing is uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
Does this upload my photo?
No. Compression runs in a Web Worker on your device. Nothing is sent to a conversion server.
Does a 2 MB cap also set the width or height?
No. This page only targets the file size (2,097,152 bytes). If a form also names a pixel width or a maximum dimension, confirm that in your editor or after you download the JPEG.
When should I use 2 MB instead of 1 MB?
Use 2 MB when you were given that cap, or when you want to keep more texture in a product, portfolio, or document photo and the destination allows it. If you were asked for 1 MB or less, use that page instead.
Will a small original be made larger?
No. The cap is a ceiling, not a target to fill. Files already under 2 MB are re-encoded as JPEG and stay under the cap.
Can I compress many files at once?
Yes. Add a batch, compress, then download a ZIP.
