There are several ways to reduce the file size of your images:
- Use an image editing program such as Photoshop for this. When editing an image in image editing software, it is best to save it using Save for Web. Save for Web is used when an image is intended for a website, email, social media, or any other digital application, and you want to keep the file size as small as possible without any noticeable loss of quality.
- Pay attention to the type of image you use. A PNG file is often unnecessarily large and therefore less suitable for websites or emails. Only use PNG when you need a transparent background, for example for a logo. In other cases, it is better to save the image as a JPG/JPEG file to reduce the file size.

No Photoshop or another image editing program available? A useful tip is to use websites such as https://tinypng.com or https://tinyjpg.com. These websites automatically compress your image, reducing the file size while maintaining good quality. |
