How to Compress and Prepare Images Before Uploading

When to Use This Tool

• You need smaller images for blogs, smart stores, social posts, or stock previews.
• You want to convert WebP, AVIF, JPG, and PNG files without sending originals to a server.
• You are preparing multiple AI image outputs and need cleaner file names, grid splits, or optimized exports.

Step-by-Step Workflow

1. Open the tool

   Open the Media & Image Suite and choose the tool that matches the job: compression, grid splitting, palette extraction, background removal, or batch renaming.

2. Load your file

   Drop your image files into the browser tool and review the visible file list before processing.

3. Choose settings

   Choose the output format and quality level. Use WebP for web pages, JPG for broad compatibility, and PNG when transparency is required.

4. Run the action

   Run the browser-local process, compare the original and output sizes, then download the optimized files.

5. Complete the task

   Use the related privacy or workflow guide if the image contains personal metadata or needs a multi-step publishing route.

Best Practices

• Keep an untouched original copy outside the browser session before bulk processing.
• Use a moderate compression setting first, then tighten quality only if the preview still looks clean.
• For AI image grids, split the grid before compression so each asset can be optimized separately.
• For ecommerce and blog pages, keep filenames descriptive and consistent before upload.
