Compress JPEG to 1.5MB
A 1.5 MB JPEG target sits between 1 MB and 2 MB, giving detailed photos more room than a one-megabyte limit without carrying the full weight of larger originals.

Exactly 1536 KB
In binary units, 1.5 MB equals 1536 KB or 1572864 bytes, distinct from both neighbouring whole-megabyte targets.
A Practical Photo Compromise
The budget can retain useful resolution and texture for portfolios, listings and detailed previews.
Automatic Encoding Search
JPEG quality is tested automatically according to source complexity instead of using one fixed setting.
Resolution Can Assist
Large JPG output may be scaled down when quality adjustment alone cannot approach 1.5 MB.
Dedicated JPEG Download
Common image inputs are converted to JPEG, so transparent pixels cannot remain transparent.
On-Device Processing
The image stays on your device while the browser creates the 1.5 MB JPEG attempt.

No. This page exports JPEG, which flattens transparent input.
Yes, when quality adjustment alone cannot meet the target.
Target search is skipped, though JPEG export can still re-encode it.
