![]() ![]() This is also a reminder that you shouldn’t rename your newly compressed images to the same name as your original file. In some cases, online services showed different values. My math was based on the original file size and the resulting file size. I bought a high-quality photo (JPEG) that weighed in at 9629 KB or 9.2 MB to test the image optimization services. However, there were some services that didn’t address these issues. In many cases, this info was stated on the website or instructions. Image file formats – I was concentrating on JPG.Privacy and ownership (what happens to the photo).When looking at these services, I had some requirements in mind. These included both online services where you needed to upload a file as well as desktop applications. There are many of these services to test so I concentrated on a few. This process is useful if you need to reduce Microsoft Word file sizes that contain images. The results will be a much smaller photo image file, but with the same image dimensions. However, you can use one of the free image compression websites. However, they can come with a steep learning curve or expense. Use an image compression routine to remove extra data, including EXIF data.Ĭertainly, many software packages can do the above steps and offer many resolution options.Cropping an image can impact dimensions and aspect ratios. However, always make a copy of your original picture. Photo- cropping– this works well if you have non-relevant areas you can remove from your image.They also provide options for defined aspect ratios for widescreen, landscape, presentation slides, and so on.

For example, if the original image was 4000 pixels (px) by 2000 px, you could reduce it to 2000 px by 1000 px. Reduce the image dimensions or pixel density.In remembering my reader’s question, there are several ways to tackle the issue but they fall into two buckets: image resizing or adjusting image quality. A similar issue happens when people want to upload to social media sites using suggested sizes. She wanted to know how to reduce the photo file size so she could submit her entries. Recently, one viewer wanted to upload her images to a photo contest, but the site restricted the file size to 5MB per image. This means the original photo can be huge in both pixels and file size (Megabyte). This will position your image in the center (or close to).Part of the photo file size problem is that the digital cameras on our smartphones are getting better. If you want to put your image in the center, add another spacer block and drag it to the other side, so you have a spacer on the left and a spacer on the right. If you put a spacer on the left side of the image, it’s going to push the image to the right, and vice-versa. If you’re still not sure about this, I recommend watching the video above as you can actually see me moving it around and how the line worksĪs soon as you drop the spacer to the side of the image you will see that the image has already become smaller, as the spacer is, for lack of a better phrase, taking up space on the side. In this case we want it to go right up against the image. This indicates exactly where the spacer will drop.
