What fits in 2 MB
| Picture | As JPG | As WebP |
|---|---|---|
| A 16 MP camera photo, 3:2 | the whole photo | the whole photo |
| An 8 MP portrait, 3:4 | the whole photo | the whole photo |
Measured at good quality (80 %) on a 16 MP camera photo, the largest ChobiKit works on, and an 8 MP portrait. Bigger photos, such as 48 or 50 MP phone photos, are brought down to 16 MP when you open them.
When 2 MB is asked for
- Forms, job sites and online shops with a 2 MB upload limit.
- Profile and cover photos on sites that refuse larger files.
- Sharing many full-size photos without filling the recipient's inbox.
Tips for 2 MB
- At 2 MB a photo usually keeps every pixel: only invisible detail goes, so print and screen quality stay as they were.
- A RAW-like or very detailed 50 MP photo is first brought down to 16 MP, then compressed.
- PNG screenshots and graphics often shrink most: save them as JPG or WebP here.
- For an even smaller file, try the 1 MB page; for a size in KB, the main compressor.
Frequently asked questions
How do I resize or compress an image to 2 MB?
Choose your image and press Compress: on this page the size is already set to 2 MB. Then download the smaller file.
Will the file be exactly 2 MB?
As close as it can get without going over. ChobiKit tries different qualities and keeps the best one that stays under 2 MB, so the file may come out a little smaller.
Is 2 MB counted as 2,000,000 or 2,097,152 bytes?
Forms differ, so ChobiKit keeps the file under 2,000,000 bytes, which passes either way.
Does compressing to 2 MB lower the resolution?
Usually not. A 16 MP camera photo and an 8 MP portrait both fit whole at good quality, so the width and height stay the same; only fine detail you can't see is dropped.
Why is 2 MB the largest size here?
The compressor works from 10 KB to 2 MB, the range forms and sites ask for. Above that, a photo is usually fine to upload as it is.
Is my image uploaded?
No. It is compressed in your browser and never sent to a server. It is free, with no sign-up and no watermark.
