FAQ
Questions, answered
How do I resize an image to 1MB for free?Open
Upload the photo on this page. Cherry Converter compresses it in your browser until the file is 1MB or smaller, then you download the result. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
Will the photo stay clear at 1MB?Open
We search for the highest JPEG quality that still fits 1MB. If quality alone is not enough, the engine scales the image slightly and tries again so the file remains usable for high-quality web and ticket uploads.
Is my photo uploaded?Open
No. Encoding happens with the Canvas API on your device. Close the tab and the image is gone.
Which format should I use for 1MB form uploads?Open
JPEG is the safest choice for Indian government, exam, and job portals. WebP is smaller but many forms still reject it.
