When every second counts, you can't afford to deliver heavy images. Our tool resizes pictures by percentage or exact dimensions. Reduce resolution for thumbnails or mobile views, then output to JPEG, PNG, WEBP or AVIF.
Combine resizing with compression to cut megabytes from your pages. Search engines reward faster sites, and visitors stick around longer when media loads instantly.

Slow websites don't just frustrate readers; they also impact your bottom line. Every extra second a page takes to render results in higher bounce rates and fewer conversions. Mobile users are especially sensitive to delays because they often rely on slower connections. If your site serves heavy photos, you're essentially turning away potential customers who expect a smooth, instant experience.
Not every image needs the same treatment. For hero banners that stretch across the screen, scaling down to 1920px wide is typically enough. Product photos might only need to be 800px. Thumbnails, meanwhile, can be 200px or less. Our compression tool lets you specify exact dimensions or percentages for each batch, ensuring you generate the right sizes for your design. Check out our tips on bulk compression benefits to streamline the process even more.
After resizing, choosing the correct format can further reduce weight. For photographic images, JPEG and the newer WEBP are usually ideal. Illustrations or images with transparency may fare better in PNG or AVIF. See our full tutorial on converting to WEBP or AVIF to learn which option works best in each scenario. Selecting the optimal format at the start means you won't need to reprocess assets later.
Resizing dozens or hundreds of images manually can feel like a chore. Automating the task with command-line tools or simple scripts saves time and ensures consistent results. If you're a developer, consider hooking into our batch compressor via an API. You can script image optimization as part of your build process. When paired with our web interface, you gain complete flexibility—drag-and-drop simplicity for one-off jobs or fully automated pipelines for large projects.
Search engines consider page speed when ranking results, so trimming image size directly affects visibility. Fast, well-optimized pages also reduce bounce rates, signaling to search engines that users value your content. Don't forget accessibility: smaller images render more quickly on assistive devices and allow alt text to load instantly. See how compression ties into our article on building an efficient toolkit.
Whenever you publish a new blog post or product gallery, plan your images in advance. Resize them to match your layout, pick the best format and compress them before uploading. By doing so, your pages will appear snappy on everything from high-end desktops to budget phones. If you want even more insight, visit our deep dive into modern formats like WEBP and AVIF, then head over to the Bulk Image Compressor to try these strategies yourself. With a little attention to detail, you can keep your audience engaged and your search rankings high.
Another way to keep pages light is by serving different image sizes based on screen width. Combine the srcset attribute with our resizing tool to create small, medium and large versions of each asset. Modern browsers then pick the smallest file that still looks sharp, saving bandwidth for visitors on mobile. Pair this with lazy loading so off-screen images only download when a user scrolls toward them.
After your site is optimized, periodically check performance metrics to ensure pages remain fast. Tools like Google PageSpeed Insights and Lighthouse help track loading times and identify new bottlenecks. If numbers start creeping up, run fresh batches through our compressor to remove bloat. This ongoing attention keeps your site ahead of competitors and reduces hosting costs.
Speed is only one factor in building a successful online presence. Explore our tutorial on why bulk compression matters to understand the bigger picture, or dive into format conversion for even better performance gains. Together these articles will help you craft a modern, efficient workflow that delivers outstanding visuals without slowing down your site.
