2. Keep originals
After conversion, you cannot fully restore original quality. Keep JPG or PNG originals in a backup folder.
- Keep a backup before editing.
- Use a clear filename.
- Open the final file once before sharing.
3. Check transparency
For logos and icons, confirm transparent areas still look correct after conversion.
4. Connect it to SEO
Smaller files can help page speed, and meaningful filenames plus alt text support image SEO.
5. Test on real screens
Review desktop and mobile output before publishing.
