Resize Image to 950 KB
950 KB gets you as much quality as a 1 MB limit allows while still leaving a small safety margin for sites that count a megabyte as 1,000,000 bytes. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded. Need different dimensions instead? Resize or convert.
Why compress to 950 KB?
950 KB is a common upload limit for blog images, large web graphics and attachments. At that size a JPG photo can be about 2420×1820 pixels at medium quality.
About 2420×1820 px fits
At medium quality a detailed JPG photo of roughly 2420×1820 pixels lands under 950 KB; at high quality about 1690×1270.
Typical use
950 KB limits are common for blog images, large web graphics and attachments.
3.8× smaller than a phone photo
A 12 MP phone photo is around 3–4 MB, so it must shrink about 3.8×. The tool lowers quality first and resizes only if needed.
Quality to expect
At 950 KB, quality is very good. There is room for a sharp, full-screen photo.
Scans and documents
A scanned A4 page of about 2930×4140 pixels usually fits, because text pages compress far better than photos.
Exact limit, checked
950 KB is measured as 972,800 bytes (1 KB = 1,024 bytes), the way most upload forms count it, so the file is never just over.

Using nearly all of 1 MB
950 KB = 972,800 bytes. That is under 1,000,000, so it passes the strictest 1 MB check, yet keeps 97% of the allowance for detail.
When quality matters most — a portfolio sample, a contest entry, a print-proof upload — this is the size to pick.
What you get: a typical photo about 2100–2200 pixels wide at high quality.

Frequently asked questions
Will a 950 KB file pass a 1 MB limit?
Yes. 950 KB is 972,800 bytes, under even a strict 1,000,000-byte limit.
How many pixels fit in 950 KB?
For a detailed JPG photo, about 2420×1820 at medium quality or 3280×2460 at low quality. Simple graphics and scans can be much larger.
What quality will a 950 KB photo have?
Very good. There is room for a sharp, full-screen photo. The tool keeps the dimensions where it can and lowers compression quality first, so faces and text stay readable.
Is 950 KB the same as 950,000 bytes?
Not quite. Most forms count 1 KB as 1,024 bytes, so 950 KB is 972,800 bytes. The tool uses the same count, so a file it marks as under 950 KB is accepted.
Should I use JPG or WebP for 950 KB?
JPG is accepted everywhere and is the safe choice for forms. WebP holds about 30% more detail at the same size, ideal for websites that support it.
Why is my file still over 950 KB?
Very large or detailed images may not reach 950 KB by quality alone. Resize it first (for example to 2420 pixels wide) with the resizer, then compress again.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. They are read and compressed by your own browser and never leave your device. You can disconnect from the internet once the page has loaded and it will still work.
