Compress images for faster web pages

Sizing for real layouts

Export at 1× and 2× display width—not camera resolution. Hero at 1200–1600 CSS px often suffices; thumbnails smaller. Use consistent aspect ratios in CMS crops to avoid layout shift.

Format trade-offs

JPEG for photos, PNG when you need transparency, WebP for smaller photos at similar quality. Test one hero on slow 3G throttling in DevTools after you compress.

Use the image compressor

Drop files, set max width/quality, download optimized assets. Processing stays on-device—good for client assets and staging sites before you push to CDN.

Who this guide is for

Bloggers, Shopify sellers, and static-site authors optimizing LCP without a design team.

Examples and patterns

Export WebP at 80–85 quality for heroes; keep PNG only when you need transparency. Compare KB before upload. Use the generator for "compress images for web" as a brainstorm, then edit for your voice and facts. Save three favorites and A/B test which tone gets more saves or replies.
