- The target is already set to 2 MB; FileTinker re-encodes the image until it fits at or under that size.

About compressing to 2 MB
Compressing to 2 MB reduces a photo's file size by re-encoding it more efficiently and, when needed, lowering quality slightly — handy for upload limits, email attachments and forms that cap files at 2 MB.
Everything runs in your browser, so your image never leaves your device. JPG and WebP reach small targets like this most easily; very small targets may trade away some visible quality.
2 MB is a common ceiling for email attachments, larger application forms, and shared albums that want to curb very heavy files. The tool reduces quality only enough to reach 2 MB or below, so even high-resolution photos generally retain their sharpness and colour. Your image is processed in your browser and never uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
How do I compress an image to 2 MB?
Drag your JPG, PNG or WebP into the tool above, leave the target at 2 MB, and press Compress. FileTinker shrinks it to 2 MB or under in your browser, then you download the result.
Will compressing to 2 MB reduce the quality?
Smaller targets mean more compression, so some quality is traded for size. FileTinker keeps the highest quality that still fits under 2 MB; if 2 MB is very small for a detailed photo, the tool tells you the closest size it could reach.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. Compression happens entirely in your browser — your image never leaves your device and nothing is stored on a server.
Which formats can I compress to 2 MB?
JPG, PNG and WebP. The compressed file keeps its original format.
Why would I compress an image to 2 MB instead of a smaller size?
A 2 MB target keeps far more detail than tight KB limits while still trimming oversized files for email or uploads. The tool only lowers quality as much as the 2 MB cap requires, so loss is usually minimal.
