Why 2MB uploads fail so often
Upload failures usually happen because a site enforces more than one rule. A form might advertise a 2MB limit, then silently reject files with huge pixel dimensions, unsupported formats, or slow transfer speed. The result is a generic error like upload failed even when the picture looks fine on your phone or laptop.
A 2MB cap is common on government forms, hiring portals, insurance claims, and account verification pages. Some systems also apply a total submission cap, so a few normal camera photos can push the request over the limit. Modern phone images are often 3MB to 12MB by default, which is why they fail unexpectedly.
Compressing to 2MB cuts file size while preserving readable detail. This tool automatically balances quality and dimensions so your image meets the limit with minimal visible loss. Processing happens entirely in your browser, so files stay on your device. There is no server upload, no cloud copy, and no stored personal image data.

Frequently asked questions
What does compress to 2MB mean?
It means the final image file is at or below 2 megabytes, which is required by many upload forms. The tool adjusts quality and dimensions automatically to hit that target.
Why is my photo above 2MB in the first place?
Phone cameras produce high-resolution images with lots of detail, and those files can easily exceed 2MB. Screenshots and edited images can also become large depending on format.
Will text still be readable after compression?
In most cases yes. The compressor reduces size gradually and keeps as much clarity as possible, so receipts, IDs, and forms usually remain readable.
Are files uploaded to your servers?
No. Compression runs locally in your browser using your device. Your images never leave your machine.
