How to Prepare Images for Websites and Documents

Use JPG for photos, PNG for transparent graphics, WebP for modern web images, and SVG for simple logos or icons when available.

If an image looks blurry, resizing it larger will not truly restore detail. Start with the highest quality original, resize to the exact needed dimensions, then compress.

Image compression should reduce file size while keeping the image clear enough for the user. For website images, test the final file on mobile and desktop.

Large images slow down pages. Smaller images improve loading speed, user experience, and the chance that visitors stay on the page.

First crop unnecessary space. Second resize the image to the required width and height. Third convert to the best format. Finally compress and compare the result with the original.

Keep original files in a separate folder so you can export again later if a platform requires a different size.
