Prepare a Web Image Compression Pass

An image compression example for deciding quality, target width, and what to check before publishing.

Worked example

Task context

A screenshot for a guide page is too large. Resize it for the page width, reduce quality carefully, and keep the original file outside the publishing folder.

Open the related tool: Image Compressor & Resizer

Input and output

Input asset plan

Original: 2400 x 1600 PNG screenshot, 3.8 MB
Target: guide article image, max display width 1200 px
Candidate output: WebP, quality 82, width 1200 px

Review checklist

Keep original copy
Export 1200 px WebP
Check text readability at mobile width
Compare file size and visual quality
Publish only after confirming alt text

Checks before copying

  • Keep the original screenshot before compression.
  • Check small text after resizing, especially on mobile.
  • Use alt text that describes the actual image, not only the file type.

Lesson: Compression is a publishing decision. The smallest file is not always the best file if it harms readability.
