This page lets you set a target size in megabytes, for the cases where a camera photo is simply too big to email, attach or upload. Typical limits are 1 MB, 2 MB, 5 MB or 10 MB.
Enter your limit in the target size box and keep dimensions on Auto. If your photo is already below the limit, it is left as it is.

MB at a glance
Phone photos are typically 2 to 5 MB; a limit of 1 to 2 MB usually needs only a modest quality reduction.
| Limit | Bytes | Typical pixel budget (4:3 photo) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MB | 1,048,576 | ≈ 3050 × 2290 px |
| 2 MB | 2,097,152 | ≈ 4320 × 3240 px |
| 5 MB | 5,242,880 | ≈ 6830 × 5120 px |
| 10 MB | 10,485,760 | ≈ 9650 × 7240 px |
How the presets in this category work
Each preset below fills in a ready-made value, so you can skip typing it. Open any of them, add your photo, and the editor shows the settings already applied. You can still change every value before downloading: the preset is a starting point, not a lock.
If your exact value does not exist as a preset, use this page to enter your own. The result is processed in your browser with Lanczos-3 resampling for scaling, and is never uploaded.
How to resize an image in MB
- Add your image. Select a photo or drag it onto the box above. JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC and BMP files are accepted, and the file stays on your device.
- Enter your size. Type the width and height you need and choose the unit. The aspect-ratio lock keeps the proportions unless you turn it off.
- Download the result. Click resize and save the file.
