With Cloudinary, you can resize any image to 2MB or less while preserving visual clarity. As soon as you drag-and-drop or upload, optimization runs automatically—no extra clicks. By pairing smart format delivery (f_auto, e.g., AVIF/WebP) with adaptive quality (q_auto), your visuals stay sharp at smaller sizes. Ideal for content‑heavy apps and websites that need faster load times and better engagement.

Yes—Cloudinary’s API gives you full control over an automated resize image to 2MB process for PNG assets. Upload via the API and apply parameters like q_auto:low, f_auto, and fl_lossy to reduce file size automatically. Add file‑size constraints or conditional transformations in your asset pipeline so every upload hits the 2MB target—ideal for hands‑off, at‑scale automation.

To achieve a 2MB target, Cloudinary applies perceptual image optimization that is visually lossless and context-aware. The differences are typically imperceptible at standard viewing sizes, as important elements like edges, textures, and detail are preserved while redundant data is removed. True lossless formats—such as PNG or lossless AVIF/WebP—may exceed 2MB depending on the image. If you require bit-for-bit accuracy, expect larger file sizes. For most marketing visuals and photographs, perceptual resizing yields a much smaller file without noticeable quality loss. If you notice artifacts, try increasing the quality slightly or reducing dimensions to stay under 2MB while maintaining appearance.
