Frequently Asked Questions
When should I use 500KB vs 200KB?
Use 500KB for featured images, banners, and heroes where quality matters; use 200KB for thumbnails and supporting images. 500KB gives about 2.5× more quality headroom.
Can I resize a 10MB photo to 500KB?
Yes, but a 95% shrink will reduce quality. For very large images, reduce dimensions first, then target 500KB for the best result.
