Why optimize web images? There are several reasons. One is because larger size bytes take longer to load in the browser. We don't want people to leave our blog/site because it takes too long to load. Optimizing solves that problem by compressing images into smaller bytes. Here is a great method for getting the best images: First, use a system such as:
Pixlr to edit the image. Selecting "auto color" or "auto contrast" can make the image brighter. Selecting a slight amount "sharpen" will sometimes help. Do this editing
before optimizing, or the image may end up blurry. One great
free and quick optimizer is here:
EZGif. Their site also has an easy favicon generator. (That's the image in the browser. [This blog's is a little spool of thread]. The above photo is a comparison of two jumpers that I designed and made while an undergrad: one view is optimized and the other is not. 'See how much clearer and brighter the optimized image on the right side is?
