Make photos light for the web
A 1600 px long edge at 85% quality suits most sites; 1200 px for a blog, 1080 px for social media.
Steps
- Drop the photos on "Resize" and press the preset "Web (long edge 1600 px)".
- To hit a size, use "Compress" with "Under 200 KB".
- For smaller still, "Convert" to WebP; nearly every browser shows it.
- Strip location data with "Remove metadata" before publishing a phone photo.
Questions
- How much smaller?
- A phone photo (about 4000 px, 3 MB) usually lands at 200-400 KB at 1600 px and 85%.
- Does quality suffer?
- On a screen it is hardly visible. Keep the original for print.
