How Private Photo Converter compresses a photo to 5 MB

Private Photo Converter tries different quality levels and, if needed, reduces the dimensions step by step, until each photo fits within 5 MB. It always keeps the highest quality that still fits, and everything happens in your browser: nothing is uploaded.

When 5 MB is the right size

5 MB is the limit of many messaging and upload services. Most phone photos are bigger, so this brings them under the limit while keeping high quality.

Tips for a good result

About the formats

JPG
The most widely used: opens everywhere. Ideal for photos, email and social media. No transparency, and a slight loss from compression.
WebP
Modern and very light. Ideal for websites and apps. Some older programs can't open it.
AVIF
Produces the smallest files at the same quality. Ideal for modern websites. Limited support in old software, and slower conversion.

Frequently asked questions

How do I compress an image to 5 MB?

Choose your photos, press Convert and download: Private Photo Converter reduces each one until it is 5 MB or smaller. You can change the limit in Settings.

Will I lose quality when I compress to 5 MB?

A little: to reach 5 MB the image is compressed more. Private Photo Converter always keeps the highest quality that still fits.

What if my photo is already smaller than 5 MB?

It is kept as it is, with no extra loss.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. Private Photo Converter converts everything in your browser: your photos and files never leave your device and Google never sees them. The only thing loaded from outside, and only if you accept ads, is Google's ad code, which may use cookies. Your preferences are saved only in your browser.
