- Download the file and use it on your form.
Meeting a 1 MB upload limit
A 1 MB limit is common on portals that accept photos or scanned documents. One megabyte is 1024 KB, so the target here is set to 1024 KB.
A photo from a recent phone usually needs only a modest cut to fit. Keep the quality high and lower the dimensions slightly rather than compressing hard.
Common questions
Will the file be exactly 1 MB?
It will be 1 MB or a little smaller. The tool picks the best quality that stays under the limit.
The result is still too big. What now?
If you need the exact limit in KB, remember that 1 MB is 1024 KB.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The photo is processed inside your browser and never leaves your device.
Can I use PNG files?
Choose JPG as the output format. PNG files cannot be reduced to a target size.
