Private, browser-based image resizing

Increase image size to exactly 1MB

Here, 1MB means 1,048,576 bytes. The distinction matters because some systems use binary megabytes while others display decimal values without explaining the conversion.

1 KB = 1024 bytes. 1 MB = 1024 x 1024 bytes.

JPG, PNG or WebP. Up to 20 files, 20 MB each.

No images selected yet.Choose one image or a batch of up to 20 files.

When a 1MB target is useful

A larger file is not automatically a sharper image. The tool can preserve the encoded pixels and add valid container data, but it cannot invent texture or detail that was not present in the source.

Portfolio submissions

Prepare a presentation image for a fixed 1MB attachment requirement.

Editorial handoffs

Deliver consistent image files when a workflow specifies an exact byte target.

Three steps, no upload

The controls are intentionally direct. Choose images, set the byte requirement, then download verified results.

  1. Select

    Add one JPG, PNG or WebP, or choose a batch of up to 20.

  2. Set target

    Choose exact, maximum or minimum size in KB or MB.

  3. Download

    Every result is decoded and checked again before download.

Why exact KB matters

Government forms, job portals, exams, identity documents and content systems often enforce rigid file limits. A valid image can still be rejected when its byte count falls outside the stated range. This tool changes the encoded file size without claiming to create new visual detail.

File size and dimensions comparison

File size is not image dimensions

KB and MB measure stored bytes. Width and height measure pixels. An image can keep the same dimensions while its encoding changes, but a very small maximum may require dimension reduction. The result always reports both values.

Choose the format that fits the job

JPG

Usually compact for photos. Transparency is replaced with white.

Photos

PNG

Keeps transparency and sharp edges, but can be larger for photos.

Transparency

WebP

Often provides a useful balance of size, quality and transparency.

Modern web

Local processing is the privacy feature

The site does not need your image data to resize it. Files, names, previews and output blobs remain in browser memory. Optional analytics can record anonymous actions such as a completed batch, never file contents or file names.

Questions about exact image size

Does increasing KB improve image quality?

No. Adding encoded bytes does not create new visual detail. The purpose is to satisfy a file-size requirement, not to perform AI upscaling.

What does exact mean?

The downloaded Blob must contain exactly the target number of bytes. Targets use 1KB = 1024 bytes and are verified after processing.

What formats are supported?

JPG and JPEG, PNG and WebP are supported for input and output. GIF, SVG and HEIC are not supported in this version.

Is metadata kept?

No by default. Re-encoding removes common EXIF metadata, which can include camera and location information.
