How to compress an image to 10 MB, at or under the number

A 0 to 12 MB scale with the 10 MB cap marked: our 9.8 MB camera photo landed under it at 2.6 MB. The cap is 10,000,000 bytes, and the result is at or under it, never over.

Drop your image: the 10 MB cap is already armed, and the result comes back at or under 10,000,000 bytes, never over. EXIF and GPS come off every output, and files are wiped automatically. How the search trades quality against pixels, and the camera photo at every cap, are on the compress image to 50 KB page. Pixels the real problem? Resize image. The portal dictates the crop too? Crop image.

Sources: photo.jpg, 576.8 KB at 1920×1280, and source.jpeg, 9.8 MB at 4964×2782. A file already under the cap comes back untouched: the never-larger guard.

Every byte count is the size of the actual file our engine produced from the named source, the same bytes you would download, not an estimate. The reference photo is one of our own photographs, an iguana on a branch, and the camera photo is a real one too. Drop your own file into the tool above to rerun any of them.

The 10 MB jobs: US and UK passport photos, and Discord

Who asks for 10 MB: the US online passport renewal (a photo file of 54 KB to 10 MB), the UK digital passport photo (50 KB to 10 MB) and a Discord Nitro profile banner (under 10 MB); Discord's free upload limit moved from 10 MB to 20 MB in August 2026.

Ten megabytes is the passport number on both sides of the Atlantic. The US State Department's online renewal wants a photo file between 54 KB and 10 MB, as a JPG, JPEG, PNG, HEIC or HEIF. HM Passport Office on gov.uk wants a digital photo of at least 50 KB and no more than 10 MB, at least 600 pixels wide and 750 tall. Discord allows a Nitro profile banner under 10 MB, and 10 MB was its free upload limit until August 2026, when its File Attachments FAQ raised it to 20 MB. The cap here is 10,000,000 bytes. Our 9.8 MB camera photo was already under it and came back at 2.6 MB anyway, every pixel kept, because stripping its EXIF means a re-encode, and the re-encode was smaller.

Discord uploads: 20 MB free, 10 MB banners

A file made here is 10,000,000 bytes or less, half Discord's free 20 MB. It also fits a Nitro profile banner, which Discord's Per-Server Profiles page keeps under 10 MB. For what Discord does after upload, read does Discord compress images.

What does “10 MB photo size” mean?

The file’s weight on disk, not its pixels: a JPG at or under 10 MB. When a portal also rules on pixels, it states them separately, in px or cm, and the crop tool’s presets cover that rule.

Questions, answered

The cap is already armed above. One drop settles most of these.

Will the result be exactly 10 MB, or under it?

At or under, never over: that is the whole guarantee. The search maximises quality within the budget, so a result lands close beneath the cap when the image needs the room and further under when it does not. Under this page's 10 MB cap our 9.8 MB camera photo came back at 2.6 MB, and our 576.8 KB reference photo, already under the cap, came back untouched. The readout under each result prints the exact bytes.

Does reducing the dimensions help an image compress to 10 MB?

Enormously: pixels are what bytes pay for. Under this 10 MB cap our 9.8 MB camera photo kept all 4964×2782 pixels and landed at 2.6 MB, so quality alone paid for the bytes. For a tight target, set Max resolution in Advanced settings yourself: it gives the quality search far more room to keep the face sharp. The engine shrinks a picture on its own only when the cap demands it.

What do "compress image in 10 MB", "compress image less than 10 MB", "10 MB converter" and "JPG 10 MB" mean?

The same thing portals ask for in their own words: a file that comes out as a JPG at or under 10 MB. This page is that converter. It preselects JPEG output, arms the 10 MB cap, and prints the exact bytes beside the result, so the words on the form and the file you upload finally agree.

How do I get a passport photo under 10 MB for online renewal?

Drop it here with the 10 MB cap armed. The State Department's online renewal takes a photo file between 54 KB and 10 MB, as a JPG, JPEG, PNG, HEIC or HEIF, and this page hands back a JPEG. Our 9.8 MB camera photo came back at 2.6 MB, far inside that window. Size is one rule of several there, so read the page's photo rules before you upload.

What file size does a UK digital passport photo need?

At least 50 KB and no more than 10 MB, per HM Passport Office's page on gov.uk, and at least 600 pixels wide and 750 tall. This cap keeps the file under 10,000,000 bytes, and a photo lands far above the floor: our 9.8 MB camera photo came back at 2.6 MB with all 4964×2782 pixels. Only a tiny source could fall under 50 KB.

Is 10 MB still the Discord upload limit?

Discord's upload limit is no longer 10 MB. Its File Attachments FAQ puts the free limit at 20 MB since August 2026. Its Nitro page (edited 29 September 2026) lists 50 MB for Nitro Basic, 1 GB for Nitro. Ten megabytes survives as the Nitro profile banner's limit, per Discord's Per-Server Profiles article. A file made here passes both.

Is this a Discord image compressor for 10 MB?

Yes, for a still picture: drop it and it comes back at or under 10,000,000 bytes, half Discord's free limit. Our 9.8 MB camera photo landed at 2.6 MB with every pixel. A screenshot or a photo for a channel passes with room. Animated GIFs and videos are refused here; the engine compresses still images only.

How do I reduce image size to less than 10 MB?

Drop it on this page: the 10 MB cap is armed, and the result comes back at or under 10,000,000 bytes, usually far under. Our 9.8 MB camera photo landed at 2.6 MB with every pixel. For an odd limit such as 9.5 MB, the reduce image size in MB page takes any number, decimals included.

Can I compress a 20 MB or 30 MB photo to 10 MB?

Yes. Files up to 30 MB are accepted per image, 50 at a time, up to 10 of them HEIC. A photo that size has more pixels or more quality than ours; the engine keeps the most quality that fits under 10,000,000 bytes and shrinks the picture only if no quality does. Our 9.8 MB camera photo needed neither, landing at 2.6 MB.
