Frequently Asked Questions
How do I optimize images for my website?
Upload the image and click Optimize. You get a web-ready file — photos as WebP, PNG graphics as compressed PNG.
Why should I optimize images for the web?
Smaller images load faster, improve Core Web Vitals (especially LCP) and help your Google rankings and conversions.
What does the optimizer change?
It auto-rotates the image, removes EXIF/GPS metadata and re-encodes it efficiently (WebP quality 78 for photos, maximum PNG compression for PNGs).
Why is my photo converted to WebP?
WebP is about 25–35% smaller than JPG at the same quality and is supported by every modern browser.
What size should website images be?
Usually no wider than the space they’re shown in — 1200–1920 px for full-width images, 600–800 px for content images. Resize first if needed.
Will optimization affect image quality?
The settings are tuned so differences aren’t visible on screen.
Does it help with Google PageSpeed Insights?
Yes — it addresses “serve images in next-gen formats” and “efficiently encode images”.
Should I also resize images?
Yes, if they’re larger than displayed. Resizing plus optimizing gives the biggest savings.
Is optimization different from compression?
Compression just reduces size; optimization also picks the best web format and strips metadata.
Does the Image Optimizer for Web tool store my images?
No, they’re processed in memory and deleted immediately.
