Check the actual output against one million bytes

The workflow tests the bytes produced by your browser rather than predicting size from a quality slider. It never labels an over-limit output as passed.

Size targeting does not silently shrink dimensions or switch formats. Add dimension bounds or choose another format only when you want those changes.

Examples

One-megabyte profile image limit

A JPEG passes only when its unchanged original or generated copy is at most 1,000,000 bytes.

Compress to 2 MB
Use a less restrictive 2,000,000-byte target.
Resize within 1200 x 1200
Apply maximum dimension bounds instead.

Compress Image to 1 MB FAQ

Is 1 MB the same as 1 MiB here?

No. This preset uses 1,000,000 bytes; the separate browser selection guard uses binary MiB.

Will the tool change image dimensions to reach 1 MB?

Not unless you also enter maximum width or height requirements.
