How to prepare an image for a websiteDigital basics

Resize a copy to the display need and inspect the exported result. This worked guide uses a small reproducible example so you can check the result before adapting it to your own task.

Перед началом

  • The original image
  • An image editor
  • The intended display dimensions

Пошаговое руководство

1

Keep an original copy

Save the source image separately. Work on an export copy so later crops or larger displays remain possible.

2

Choose the display dimensions

Check how large the image will appear in the layout. Preserve the aspect ratio unless a deliberate crop is required.

3

Resize and choose an appropriate format

Resize using the editor’s image-size control. Choose a format supported by the destination, such as JPEG or WebP for many photographs and PNG when its features are needed.

4

Compare size and quality

Export a sample and inspect it at the intended display size. Reduce unnecessary dimensions or compression quality gradually while watching important detail.

5

Check the final file

Confirm the dimensions, filename and file size. Add useful alternative text in the website when the image conveys information.

Советы и устранение неполадок

  • Smaller dimensions often save more space than repeatedly recompressing a large image.
  • Do not claim that one quality setting is ideal for every image.
