1 MB (1000 KB) is a comfortable ceiling for almost any online use. Most photos compress to 1 MB with zero visible quality loss.
If your upload destination is more strict (many are 500 KB or 100 KB), use one of those pages instead.
Frequently asked questions
Can I email a 1 MB photo?
Yes, easily — all major email providers accept attachments up to 20–25 MB.
Is 1 MB small enough for WordPress?
Fine for upload, but for page speed aim lower (~300 KB per image on a blog post).
When would I use 1 MB specifically?
Forms with strict-ish limits where you still want maximum quality. Not common — most forms are stricter.
