Compress image for Reddit Post
Reddit accepts uploads up to 20 MB but re-encodes. Starting under 1 MB minimises compound compression.
Your images stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded.
Reddit's image post upload accepts up to 20 MB but re-encodes every image server-side. Starting from an already-optimised 1 MB JPEG produces sharper final rendering than uploading a 15 MB camera source.
This preset produces a 2048 px JPEG at quality 88 — Reddit-optimal.
