Know What 999 KB Means
Use the available detail budget without confusing three nearby but different file-size limits.
Not the Same as 1 MB
ResizeBox uses 1024 KB per MB, so 999 KB is 25 KB below 1 MB. It is also one kilobyte below a separate 1000 KB target.
A Generous Web Photo Budget
Many ordinary photos can retain useful resolution, texture and colour within roughly one megabyte, depending on scene complexity and format.
Automatic Compression Without Guessing
The encoder searches for a suitable result automatically. You do not need to estimate a quality percentage for the 999 KB target.
Large Originals May Still Scale
Very high-resolution JPG or WebP files can require smaller width and height even at 999 KB. Review the final resolution before use.
Compatibility Before Compression
Select the format the destination accepts. JPG, PNG and WebP can produce different sizes and visual results from the same source.
Large Images Remain On Device
The browser performs the work locally, so even a multi-megabyte original is not uploaded to ResizeBox for this conversion.

Keep the 999 KB Target
Select the accepted output format and set dimensions only when the receiving service requires them.
Verify the Actual File
Download and compare its reported size and resolution with the destination ceiling before uploading.
Prepare a 999 KB Copy
Create a near-megabyte version locally and verify its margin, resolution and appearance before sharing it.
999 KB Image Size FAQ
Clarifying 999 KB, 1000 KB and 1 MB before you choose a target.
No. ResizeBox uses 1024 KB per MB, so 999 KB is 25 KB below 1 MB. Some systems display decimal units differently.
The difference is 1 KB, or 1024 bytes in this tool. A 999 KB target provides slightly more margin, while 1000 KB offers slightly more image data.
Not always. The encoder aims toward the target without adding padding, and the achievable size depends on the image and chosen format.
Often, but noisy or highly detailed originals may need reduced dimensions. JPG and WebP can scale automatically when quality changes are insufficient.
It leaves a 25 KB margin below a binary 1 MB ceiling. Confirm how the receiving service defines MB before relying on that buffer.
Target compression is skipped, but selected format and dimension settings still apply, so the exported file can differ from the source.
PNG can work well for graphics, screenshots and transparency. Detailed photos often use the available budget more effectively as JPG or WebP.
