Why compress an image to 1 MB?
Job applications, government portals, exam registrations and email systems often reject photos over a set size. This tool shrinks your image to 1 MB so it passes those limits, while keeping it as sharp as possible.
Private, on-device compression
Your image is compressed locally in your browser and never uploaded, so it is completely private and works offline. To compress whole folders or thousands of photos to a size at once, the native Shrinkpad for Mac app does it in bulk, offline.
