Avoid unnecessary re-encoding
1 MB gives an image more room than 500 KB. A very large or detailed photo may still need re-encoding or resizing to fit.
If a file already meets the limit, its format is unchanged and no rotation is selected, the original is returned without re-encoding. Multiple photos are checked individually.
Questions about this size limit
What happens to a photo that is already under 1 MB?
When its format is unchanged and no rotation is selected, the original file is returned without re-encoding. Converting or rotating the image requires processing.
Is compression to 1 MB lossless?
JPEG and WebP re-encoding can change details even if dimensions stay the same. PNG uses lossless colour compression, but Automatic mode may reduce its resolution.
