Compress Image to 2 MB
A 2 MB cap fits the upload limits of every major email provider and most CMS uploaders.
Your images stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded.
2 MB is the comfortable upper bound for email attachments (Gmail compresses anything over ~2 MB into a Drive link) and for many CMS uploaders. The defaults below produce a near-original-quality JPEG with a 1920 px max width.
Compression runs entirely in your browser. Drop a photo to begin.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I compress an image to 2 MB?
- Upload your image and the default settings on this page are pre-tuned to land you around 2 MB. Use the quality slider to nudge the file size up or down — the result preview shows the exact byte count before you download.
- Will the image still look good at 2 MB?
- For most photos, yes. The pre-tuned quality and max-dimension settings prioritise visual quality while landing close to 2 MB. Very small targets (under 100 KB) on detailed images may need a visible quality reduction.
- Which format gives the best result for 2 MB?
- WebP usually produces the smallest file at a given quality, then JPEG, then PNG. The format selector lets you switch; the default reflects the best balance for 2 MB.
- Can I compress to exactly 2 MB?
- Browser compression is quality-driven, not byte-driven, so the resulting file size is close to — but not exactly — 2 MB. Staying under a target is what email clients, forms, and platforms enforce, so a slightly smaller file is always safe.
- Can I batch compress multiple images to 2 MB each?
- Yes — use the bulk compressor. Drop a folder of images and each one is processed with the same settings, then downloaded as a ZIP.
