Compress Image to 2MB: how it works

If a form insists on images under 2MB, guessing JPEG quality settings is frustrating. FileStripe searches for the highest quality that fits under 2MB and, shrinks the dimensions only if quality alone isn't enough.

At 2MB most photos keep enough resolution to look sharp on any screen.
