1 MB: maximum quality, minimum bloat
Modern smartphone and DSLR photos routinely run 5-15 MB. Even after standard compression they remain too large for many platforms. 1 MB is the upper limit for "compressed" — beyond this, you're not really compressing anymore.
Use this preset when you need to slim a massive original (like a high-megapixel DSLR shot) without compromising quality at all. The result will be virtually indistinguishable from the source while being 80-95% smaller.

Common questions about 1 MB compression
Yes — for original photos that are 10+ MB, getting to 1 MB is significant compression. For smaller originals already under 1 MB, no compression is applied.
Page load speed, bandwidth costs, storage costs, faster uploads. A 1 MB image loads about 10x faster than a 10 MB original — visitors notice the difference.
