Frequently Asked Questions: 2MB Compression
When is 2MB better than 1MB?expand_more
Choose 2MB for images larger than 2000x2000 pixels, photos with fine details (fabric textures, architectural elements), or when the platform allows it and quality is your priority. For web pages, 1MB or smaller is usually better for performance.
Is 2MB acceptable for stock photography sites?expand_more
