- Image compression is about balancing quality and file size for the final use case.
- Blog thumbnails, product images, and social covers need different size and format choices.
- After compression, always check text, product details, and mobile readability.

1. Start with the use case
A blog image should load quickly, while a product image must preserve detail. Decide where the image will be used before choosing compression settings.

2. Choose the right format
Photos usually work well as JPG or WebP, while transparent logos are better as PNG. WebP is especially useful for faster web pages.
- Keep a backup before editing.
- Use a clear filename.
- Open the final file once before sharing.
3. Check quality settings
If quality is too low, skin tones, small text, and product texture can break first. Test around 70 to 85 percent and review the result.
4. Clean up the filename
For search visibility, a descriptive filename is better than image-001.
5. Review before upload
Open the result on mobile and make sure important details are still clear.
