Compress to 100 KB
This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels
Summary
A 100 KB image gives more room for an article photo, product card, or a large thumbnail. The key to a sharp result is always to start with the high-resolution original file, not the pre-compressed image. Lower the dimensions first, then adjust the quality until the target size is reached. For screenshots and text, optimized PNGs are often cleaner than JPGs.
Key points
- 100 KB is suitable for article images and product cards
- Always compress from the original file, not the previous compression results
- Lower the dimensions first, then adjust the quality.
- PNG is better for text-containing screenshots
- Use progressive mode on the JPG to make the load feel smoother
