Best practices for better results

Image optimization works best when you choose the right balance between file size, visual quality, dimensions, format compatibility and privacy. These tips help you get a cleaner result.

  • Start from the original image whenever possible.
  • Review the output before publishing or deleting your original file.
  • Use related tools like resize, convert or metadata removal when you need a more specific result.
  • Choose the right format for the job: JPEG for photos, PNG for sharp graphics and WebP for modern websites.

Why 100 KB is the web's favourite number

100 KB is the unofficial standard for a well behaved web image: light enough to load instantly, big enough to look good. Email signatures, contact form uploads, CMS media limits and forum avatars all cluster around it. Most photos sized for screens, roughly 1200 to 1600 pixels wide, fit under 100 KB at quality 70 to 80 with no visible damage.

ImageFits under 100 KB?
Profile photo, 800 pxYes, easily at high quality
Blog or hero image, 1200 to 1600 pxYes, at quality 70 to 80
Full resolution phone photoSet a max width around 1600 px first
Tip: Switching the output to WebP typically buys you 20 to 30 percent extra headroom at the same visual quality, useful when a photo lands just above the line.

Other size targets

Tighter limits live at 20 KB and 50 KB, looser ones at 200 KB, 500 KB and 1 MB. Any other number works in Compress Image to Size.
