Compress an image to 2 MB

Two megabytes is a common cap for photo uploads on marketplaces and social sites.

  • Nothing is uploaded. Your browser does the compression, so the file stays on your device.
  • Lands under the real limit. We aim a little below it, so the upload goes through first time.
  • Fast. A 30 second 1080p clip fits into 10 MB in about two seconds on a desktop.
Where are you sending it?

Custom size 2.00 MB. We aim for 1.94 MB, a small safety margin so the file never lands just over.

Sent to our servers: 0 bytes. It all happens in this tab.

When you need 2.00 MB

Marketplaces, classifieds, and listing sites.

What to expect

Most phone photos keep their full resolution at high quality.

How big a picture fits in 2 MB

Rough pixel sizes at good quality. The tool checks the real result, so treat these as a guide.

What it isAbout this many pixels
Detailed photo (landscape, crowd)2,540 x 1,690
Typical photo or headshot3,110 x 2,070
Scan, signature or screenshot of text5,390 x 3,590

How we hit the number

We try the highest quality that fits. If the picture still will not fit even at a lower quality, we reduce the pixel size a step at a time until it does. Photos are saved as JPEG by default, which every form accepts. You can switch to WebP or PNG with the format menu.

The target we aim for is 1.94 MB, which is 60 KB under 2.00 MB, so the file is not turned away over a few bytes.

Questions people ask

Can I keep the original size?

If the picture fits at the original pixel size we keep it. We only shrink pixels when quality alone cannot reach the limit.

Limits change. We link the official page wherever there is one, and the safety margin means a small change is unlikely to matter. Last updated 2026-11-09.
