Compress to 1 MB
This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels
Summary
One megabyte is the limit of enough space for high-resolution photos, mockups, or images to zoom in. At this point, lowering the quality further is often not the same because large dimensions still hold a lot of data. If the 1 MB upload limit comes from a form, consider keeping the web version separate from the full resolution master. Conversion to a modern format can also reduce size without compromising appearance.
Key points
- 1 MB in decimal units is equal to 1000 KB
- Suitable for high-resolution photos that will be enlarged or zoomed in
- Keep the full-resolution master separate from the uploaded version
- Modern formats can reduce size to the equivalent visual quality
- Excessive compression on the big picture remains visible when magnified
