    How to compress an image to 2 MB

    1. Drop your JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC image into the box above, or click to choose it.
    2. The target is already set to 2 MB. Change it if your form needs a different limit.
    3. Wait a second while the image is optimised, then click Download.

    Why 2 MB?

    Many websites cap uploads at 2 MB, especially for large photos for portals with a 2 MB upload limit. A typical phone photo is 2–5 MB, so it gets rejected. This tool keeps the best possible quality while guaranteeing the file fits the limit.

    Frequently asked questions

    How do I reduce a photo to 2 MB?

    Drop your image into the tool above. It automatically finds the highest quality that fits under 2 MB, and only shrinks the dimensions if quality alone is not enough. Then click Download.

    Are my images uploaded to a server?

    No. FileCrafty compresses images entirely inside your browser using your own device. Your files are never sent anywhere, which also makes it fast.

    Will the image still look good at 2 MB?

    Usually yes — 2 MB is enough for a sharp photo at typical screen sizes. The tool always keeps as much quality as the size allows.

    Can I compress iPhone HEIC photos?

    Yes. HEIC photos are converted and compressed in one step, so you get a JPG or WebP that any website accepts.

    Should I choose JPG or WebP?

    Choose JPG if a form or website asks for it — it works everywhere. WebP gives smaller files at the same quality and keeps transparency, but some older forms do not accept it.
