How to reduce a photo to 10 MB

Add one or more images and keep the target at 10 MB (10,485,760 bytes). Modern phone photos are often 3–12 MB, so most only need a moderate quality reduction to fit. The compressor searches for the highest quality that fits and shrinks the pixel size only if necessary. Many portals, marketplaces and chat apps limit uploads to this size.

How many pixels fit in {n} MB?

As an estimate, an average JPG photo at good quality needs about 0.15 bytes per pixel, so 10 MB can hold roughly 8,000 × 6,000 pixels — usually more than the original photo, which means quality stays very high.

Tips

Convert PNG photos to JPG or WebP: PNG is lossless and often several times larger. For screenshots with text, keep a higher quality so letters stay sharp. Compress several photos at once and download them together.

Is it free and private?

Yes. There is no sign-up and the images are compressed in your browser without being uploaded.
