Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP to compress it to 6MB in your browser. 6MB is a high-quality file size target for professional photography delivery, print-quality exports, and system uploads where you need to stay under an 8MB or 10MB limit while keeping the file large enough for print and editorial use.

6MB for print and editorial use

At 6MB, a full-resolution camera photograph compresses with very light compression — quality around 90–95 — which is visually indistinguishable from the original for print, screen, and editorial purposes. Print labs requiring minimum file sizes for large-format orders (A2, 50×70 cm, or larger) typically ask for files that are at least this size. A 6MB JPEG at 5000×3500 pixels, for example, is adequate for a 40×28 cm print at 300 DPI — the standard resolution for offset print and most print-on-demand services.

Photography platform upload limits

Flickr's free account allows images up to 200MB; 500px has no stated per-image limit for uploaded originals; Behance supports files up to 100MB. For these platforms, 6MB is well within the limit and delivers a high-quality display image. The platform may serve a resized version for the gallery view but uses your original as the source for downloads — so uploading at 6MB rather than a compressed 500KB version means users who download your work get a high-quality file.

For web and social use where file size directly affects page load, see our 300KB or 500KB compressors.
