About Compress to 1MB
Modern phones and cameras produce photos of 4 to 20 MB. A limit of 1 MB is common on upload forms, and at this size most photos look unchanged.
Photos with a lot of fine detail, such as trees or crowds, are the hardest to compress, while portraits and skies are easy. Slimfile adapts to each picture.
Tips for this size
- Ideal for sending photos in chat with no quality surprises.
- HEIC iPhone photos work too.
- For prints, keep the original alongside this copy.
Questions
Is 1 MB enough for printing?
It can be fine for small prints such as 4 × 6 inches, if the pixel size stays high.
Why did a 900 KB photo not change?
It was already under your target, so Slimfile left it alone to protect the quality.
