Image optimization is essential for creating fast-loading websites and applications. Learn the latest techniques and tools to optimize your images effectively.

📁

Choose Right Format

Select the appropriate image format (JPEG, PNG, WebP) based on image type and use case. WebP offers excellent compression for modern browsers.

📏

Resize Appropriately

Resize images to the maximum size needed for display. Serving oversized images wastes bandwidth and slows loading times.

🗜️

Compress Smartly

Use modern compression tools that maintain visual quality while reducing file size. Consider using lossy compression for photos and lossless for graphics.

⚡

Implement Lazy Loading

Use lazy loading to defer loading of off-screen images, improving initial page load performance.
