Photos carry hidden notes, called metadata (EXIF and XMP): often the GPS position, the camera or phone, and the time. Every note is dropped except the colour profile, which only says how to show the colours, and the copy is checked for leftovers before you can download it. If the photo already fits, its pixels are kept as they are; otherwise it is saved again as a JPEG. Quality is how hard JPEG squeezes the picture: below 60% it turns blocky, so past that point the picture is made smaller instead. 1 MB here means 1,000,000 bytes, the stricter reading, so it also fits sites that count 1,048,576.
