        If you have layers, do a copy canvas and move it onto a new canvas. It’ll greatly reduce the size of the file without reducing the quality

          @Griffin I had the same issue with Procreate. 900kB was the smallest it would go and I alreDy lost some of my edges. I ended up submitting the 900kB file and the system let me do it so I guess it's ok. The portal said max 1MB and ours are still below...

            @Griffin If its 1200 at 72 dpi it should be good. did you save it as a jpg?

              @Asyas_illos I didn’t try copying and pasting. I just read pled the canvas to make it a smaller size which I think is essentially doing the same thing. Layer’s are all flattened.

                @AngelinaKizz I didn’t try that exactly, only resampling the canvas to make it smaller. I’ll give this a shot, thanks!

                  @Griffin were you able to figure it out and get it submitted?

                    @Griffin I prefer the route of copy canvas, since I find I don't lose any quality by resampling the canvas.

                      @AngelinaKizz same here then you still have the original at least with nice quality, when I move canvas it gets pixelated when I try I zoom in too much.

                        @Asyas_illos exactly! I like to have the original that I can keep reworking.

                          Side note, if you're using procreate, I've made myself a 1200x1200 canvas and named it svs template. When I copy and drop my working canvas into the template it automatically fits it to one side bring 1200. Then I just crop my canvas.
