Professional Image Optimization Strategies

The Tips

1

Match Resolution to Use Case

72 PPI for web, 150 PPI for digital presentations, 300 PPI for print. Higher is wasteful.

Impact: Prevents unnecessary file bloat

2

Choose Format Based on Content

JPG for photos, PNG for graphics with transparency, WebP for modern web, SVG for logos.

Impact: Optimal quality-to-size ratio

3

Use Progressive Encoding for JPG

Progressive JPGs load gradually, improving perceived performance.

Impact: Better user experience, especially on slow connections

4

Implement Responsive Images

Serve different image sizes based on device viewport and pixel density.

Impact: 50-70% bandwidth savings on mobile

5

Leverage Browser Caching

Set appropriate cache headers so returning visitors don't re-download images.

Impact: Faster repeat visits, reduced server load
