What is Compress an image to 2MB?
TL;DR: Type 2 MB as your target and Shrink44 binary-searches the quality (and resolution if needed) to land at or just under 2MB — without uploading your image.
Reaching a 2MB ceiling is a common requirement for high-quality uploads that must stay under 2MB. Most compressors only give you a quality slider; Shrink44 lets you set 2MB as an exact target and does the maths for you.
It works by iteratively binary-searching the encoding until the output lands at or below 2MB, all inside your browser — so even sensitive ID photos never touch a server.
