Lighter images help the website load faster, which improves navigation and perceived quality.
SEO support
Pages with better technical performance also tend to benefit from signals that affect search optimization.
Simple workflow
No complex software is required to get started: fast online tools exist for day-to-day tasks.

Before publishing
1. Start from the original
Always keep the original version of the image before converting so you do not lose room for future edits.

3. Review quality
Confirm that the visual detail remains acceptable, especially in banners, product imagery or images containing text.
4. Replace it in Studio
Update the image used in the project and validate the behavior on desktop and mobile.
Quick checklist
Final validation
