Match format to the image
Photographs, icons, and transparency needs have different trade-offs. Modern formats can reduce file size, but the delivery pipeline should preserve visual quality and compatibility.

Thoughtful decisions compound over time.
Practical product work brings technical choices back to the people and workflows they are meant to serve.
Serve the right dimensions
Avoid sending a full-resolution desktop image to a small mobile card. Use responsive sources, set dimensions to prevent layout shifts, and lazy-load content below the fold.
Check the result in context
Inspect image quality on real pages, not only in an export dialog. A frontend review can find oversized assets contributing to slow product or service pages.
Practical application
Inspect the largest images on key routes, resize them to their rendered dimensions, and compare modern formats at visually acceptable quality. Set intrinsic dimensions to reserve layout space and lazy-load images that do not appear near the first viewport.
