Picking a format

JPG is for photographs: small files, no transparency, and a little detail lost every time it is saved. PNG is lossless and keeps transparency, which suits screenshots, logos, and anything with sharp edges or text, but photographs come out large. WebP and AVIF do both jobs in smaller files and are supported by every current browser; AVIF is usually smaller still, while some older software and upload forms accept neither.

HEIC is what iPhones save by default. It is efficient, but many websites, Windows programs, and forms refuse it, so HEIC to JPG is often the first step before anything else. JPG to WebP and WebP to JPG cover the round trip when a site wants one and your editor wants the other.

Making images lighter for the web

Resolution matters more than compression. A photo straight from a phone is often 4000 pixels wide; a page rarely shows it wider than 1600–2000, so resizing first removes most of the weight before quality is touched at all. After that, the image compressor at a quality around 75–85 is usually indistinguishable from the original on screen.

Compressing an already-compressed JPG again saves little and costs detail, so work from the original each time rather than from a previous export.

What a photo says about you

Most phone photos carry EXIF metadata: the camera, the time the picture was taken, and often the exact GPS position. The EXIF viewer shows what a file contains; remove EXIF strips it before you post or send the picture. For faces, number plates, or documents in the frame, blur for privacy hides them in the image itself.

Printing and DPI

DPI only matters on paper. A screen shows pixels, so a 1200-pixel image looks the same whether its file says 72 or 300 DPI. For print, divide the pixel size by the resolution you need — 300 DPI for photo prints, 150 is often enough for posters seen from a distance. The print size calculator does that division, and the DPI checker reads what a file declares.
