Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between image optimization and compression?

Image compression reduces file size by adjusting quality. Image optimization goes further — it may also involve choosing the right format, removing unnecessary metadata, and finding the best quality-to-size ratio for your specific use case.

How does image optimization improve SEO?

Google uses page speed as a ranking factor. Optimized images load faster, improving Core Web Vitals scores like Largest Contentful Paint (LCP). Faster pages rank better and provide a better user experience.

What is the best image format for the web?

WebP is currently the best format for web use, offering 25-35% smaller files than JPEG at the same quality. Use our format converter to switch to WebP, then optimize for best results.

Should I optimize images before or after resizing?

Resize first to your target dimensions, then optimize. This gives you the smallest possible file size since you're not carrying extra pixel data through the optimization process.
