Technical Optimization Tips

File Format Selection

Use JPEG for photographs and complex images. Use PNG for graphics with transparency. Consider WebP for modern browsers (20-30% smaller than JPEG).

Aspect Ratio Consistency

Maintain consistent aspect ratios across your product images (1:1 for square, 4:3 for landscape, 3:4 for portrait). This ensures uniform display in grids and galleries.

Compression Balance

Find the sweet spot between file size and quality. Start with 80-85% quality and adjust based on visual inspection. Text and fine details need higher quality.

Naming Convention

Use descriptive, SEO-friendly filenames: "product-name-size-color-1200x1200.jpg". Include dimensions and purpose for easy management.
