Make Image Less Than 1MB
Many forms and apps reject images above 1MB. The quickest fix is usually to compress the file first and resize it only if the image still exceeds the limit.
Quick answer
To make an image less than 1MB, open the Compress Image tool, upload the image, create a smaller version, and check the new file size. If the image is still over 1MB, resize it and download the smaller result. The work runs locally in your browser, and Confiles does not upload or store your file.

What if compression alone does not get below 1MB?
Reduce the image dimensions as well. Lowering width and height usually has the biggest effect when the file is far above the limit.
