When a 5MB limit still causes upload errors
A 5MB cap sounds generous, but uploads still fail when platforms check more than size alone. Some systems convert formats behind the scenes, some reject high-resolution HEIC images, and others enforce strict timeout windows. That is why a photo that looks small enough can still trigger a failed upload message at the final step.
Typical limits vary by use case: many support portals allow 5MB, email systems often allow larger totals but smaller practical per-file sizes, and application forms may enforce 2MB to 5MB depending on provider. Unedited camera files regularly exceed those limits, especially when they include metadata, high detail, and very large dimensions.
Compression helps by removing unnecessary data and reducing dimensions only as much as needed to pass the target. You keep a visually clear image while cutting transfer size and improving upload reliability. This compressor runs directly on your device in the browser, so your files are not sent to external servers or retained after processing.

Frequently asked questions
Who usually needs a 5MB image limit?
You often see 5MB limits on support ticket systems, claim portals, and business forms where users upload screenshots, invoices, or photos as proof.
Can I compress multiple images to 5MB at once?
Yes. Add several files and the tool compresses each one to fit the selected limit, then lets you download individually or as a ZIP.
Will a 5MB image keep good quality?
Usually yes. 5MB allows plenty of detail for most photos and scanned documents, especially when the original file was only moderately larger.
Is this private for sensitive documents?
Yes. Processing is local to your browser, so sensitive images stay on your device and are never uploaded to a server.
