Overview
Image resizing reduces pixel dimensions. This is often the most effective way to make website images lighter because large camera photos contain more pixels than a page needs.
Choose dimensions based on the display area. If a blog column is 900 pixels wide, uploading a 3000 pixel image wastes bandwidth.
Keeping aspect ratio prevents stretching. When the ratio is locked, changing width automatically adjusts height to preserve the original shape.
After resizing, consider compression or WebP conversion for an even smaller final file. Test quality before publishing important visuals.
