To compress an image to 2 MB (2,097,152 bytes) for free, drop it into SammaPix Compress and adjust the quality slider until the output meets the target — for most photos, quality 75-90% reaches 2 MB. Processing happens 100% in your browser using the Canvas API — no upload, no signup, no watermark. Tested on 100 real images: SammaPix matched SSIMULACRA 2 quality scores above 65 (no visible loss) at all output sizes >= 50 KB. For sizes below 25 KB, expect visible compression artifacts on photographic content — vector-style images and screenshots fare best.
Open the SammaPix Compress tool and drag your image into the drop zone. Supports JPEG, PNG, WebP, and GIF.
Adjust the quality slider until the output size is at or below 2 MB. Lower quality = smaller file.
Download your compressed image instantly. Everything runs in your browser — your photos never leave your device.
Typical results when compressing a photo to 2 MB.
| Property | Original | Compressed |
|---|---|---|
| File size | 30.0 MB | 2 MB |
| Quality | 100% | 88-95% |
| Size reduction | — | ~93% |
| Format | JPEG / PNG | JPEG / WebP |
At 2 MB you can keep the original resolution at quality 92-95% — perfect for archiving edited photos.
Large-format display images (4K monitors, digital signage) look excellent at 2 MB in WebP format.
For professional photography delivery, 2 MB per image is a common client proof size — high enough quality to evaluate, small enough to email.
Use 2 MB as the ceiling for any single image on your website — beyond this, the speed impact outweighs the quality gain.

Use Compress to reduce your images to 2 MB or below, or Convert to WebP for even smaller files at the same quality.
Use 2 MB when you need near-original quality: professional photo proofs, high-resolution print previews, digital signage images, or archival-quality web galleries. For standard web use, 100-500 KB is more appropriate.
Upload your image to SammaPix Compress and set quality to 90-95%. Most high-resolution photos (4000+ px) will compress to around 2 MB at these settings. Adjust the quality slider until you hit your target.
Yes, most email providers support attachments up to 25 MB. A 2 MB image is easy to email. However, if you are sending multiple images, consider compressing each to 500 KB or 1 MB to keep the total manageable.
At typical web viewing (1x zoom on a monitor), the difference between 1 MB and 2 MB is barely visible. The extra size matters when zooming in, printing, or displaying on large 4K+ screens where individual pixels are more visible.
