🚀 Turn Your Images into The Ultimate Image Optimizer and Editor

Websites that take a long time to load annoy your visitors and damage your search rankings. The culprit? Often, it’s oversized, unoptimized images that are slow to load. Whether you run a blog, an online store or a personal portfolio site, the images on your pages are just as important as the words themselves when it comes to the user experience — and they’re also often responsible for the bulk of a page’s download size.

The Image Optimizer and Editor is an advanced online tool created for all users to help fix common image issues. This one-stop shop allows you to upload your photos and make basic edits like resizing, quality adjustments, cropping, brightness/contrast tweaks, color changes and changing file format — all without the need for expensive software or technical know-how.

We want to take a closer look at this versatile tool in our guide on how you can optimize your image workflow and generate perfectly optimized images for any situation.

📈 Why Image Optimization is Important in Your Website

Images make up around 60% of the size of an average webpage, which means they are the largest contributor to how long your website takes to load. Oversize images or those saved in the wrong format cause bottleneck that slows down your entire site.

Page speed is a ranking factor to search engines such as Google. All of which is to say that it’s not just a matter of annoying your site visitors; poorly optimized images actually are bad for you in search. Mobile users, who now constitute over half of web traffic, are particularly sensitive to slow-loading pages.

Not only that, but correctly sized and formatted images, help your content look good across different devices. A photo that is crystal clear on desktop can look like a bunch of rectangular blobs on mobile if it isn’t optimized properly.

🏆 Best Practices for Optimized Images

🖼️ Choose the Right Format

For graduations of flat colours for photographs and graphics, use JPG. PNG has the best support for those and is a (good enough) container format with transparency. WebP compresses better than anything else for modern websites, but not all browsers support it yet. BMP is for when you need publishing or best quality, and not just for the jpeg itself.

🌐 Optimize for Your Platform

Different platforms have different requirements. Images are often compressed more on social media sites so it pays to start with a better quality image to begin with. Crisp product photos that load fast on mobile devices are crucial for e-commerce sites. Blog posts need to feature images that are big enough to be interesting, but small enough not to slow down page load times.

⚖️ Balance Quality vs File Size

Keep aiming for the lower file size that has acceptable quality. This would normally involve exploring the quality settings. For web, most images don’t need to be larger than 1920 pixels wide — and lots can be a lot smaller, depending on how they’ll get used.

👥 Consider Your Audience

Internet for mobile users is frequently slower, so it’s even more important to keep file sizes small. On high-res screens, though, they will see if your images are too compressed or tiny. The preview feature of the Image Optimizer and Editor lets you find that middle ground for your followers.

🔄 Maintain Consistency

Establish Your Photograph as a Standard. This could be something like consistent header sizes for all blog posts, or the same brightness and contrast edits across all of your product images. Repetition will make your website (or social media) look pro.

💡 Pro Tips For The Best Results

🔍 Use Sharpening Strategically
