Optimize Images for the Web

WebP, 1920 px maximum, 80 percent quality: ready for any website.

By · Last updated

Your files are processed on your device and never uploaded.

Quick answer: To optimize images for a website, add them here: the page is set to WebP at 80 percent quality with a 1920-pixel maximum, which usually cuts phone photos by 90 percent or more with no visible loss on screen. Switch to JPG if your platform does not accept WebP. Nothing is uploaded.

Big images are the most common reason a page loads slowly. Drop in a folder's worth of photos and get small WebP files sized for the web, ready to upload to your site, shop or blog.

Why these settings

SettingWhy
WebPTypically 25 to 35 percent smaller than JPG at the same visual quality, and shown by every current browser
1920 px maximumFull-width on Full HD screens; larger only costs bytes. Use 1280 px for images in a text column
80 percent qualityIndistinguishable from the original on screen for most photos

Re-encoding also removes camera metadata such as the GPS location, which you rarely want on a public website.

Faster pages, better rankings

Page speed, and especially how quickly the largest image appears (Largest Contentful Paint), is part of Google's Core Web Vitals. A 4 MB hero photo can take seconds on mobile data; the same photo optimized here is often 150 to 300 KB. Serve the image at the size it is displayed, and give it width and height attributes so the page does not jump while it loads.

When to keep JPG or PNG

  • Some email tools, older CMS plugins and marketplaces still reject WebP: choose JPG under Save as.
  • Logos and icons with flat colours are often smaller as PNG with fewer colours: use Compress PNG, or SVG if you have it.
  • Safari cannot save WebP; it falls back to JPG or PNG. Use Chrome, Edge or Firefox for WebP.
