How It Works

  1. 1

    Upload your hero or content image

    Drop in the image you plan to use on your website. Hero images, blog post images, and product photos are the most common use cases.

  2. 2

    Target web-optimized file size

    For web use, aim for under 200KB for hero images and under 100KB for thumbnail images. Use 75–80% JPEG quality for the best balance.

  3. 3

    Download and deploy

    Save the compressed image and replace the original on your website. Run a PageSpeed Insights check to confirm the improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What image size is recommended for websites?+
Hero images should be under 200KB, blog thumbnails under 100KB, and product images 50–150KB. Always serve images at the actual display size — don't upload a 4000px wide image for a 800px slot.
Should I use JPEG or WebP for web images?+
WebP offers 25–35% better compression than JPEG at the same quality. If your site supports WebP (most modern browsers do), it's the preferred format for web images.
Does image compression help SEO?+
Yes. Google uses page speed as a ranking signal, and image weight is a major contributor to slow pages. Compressing images improves Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), a Core Web Vitals metric.
