How to compress an image for the web
Heavy photos slow sites and burn mobile data. Browser compression is a quick prep step before publishing.
Step by step
-
Upload the photo
Open image compression and pick a file.
-
Compare preview and size
Balance quality vs weight: stronger for thumbnails, milder for portfolio shots.
-
Resize if needed
If the image is wider than the layout, reduce resolution first.
JPG, PNG, or WebP
Photos usually suit JPG/WebP. Keep PNG for graphics with transparency and sharp edges.
Things to watch
- Don’t upload phone originals as-is.
- Crop empty space before compressing when you can.
- Check the result on retina and normal screens.
