Expert Tips for Image Cropper
Web-Optimised Formats
Use WebP for photos (30% smaller than JPEG, same quality) and AVIF for modern browsers (50% smaller). Fall back to JPEG/PNG for older browsers via <picture>.
Correct Dimensions
Never scale images up in the browser — always serve at the closest native size. A 1920×1080 image displayed at 400px wastes 4× the bandwidth.
File Size Targets
Hero images: under 200 KB. Thumbnails: under 30 KB. Product images: under 100 KB. Exceeding these thresholds directly impacts LCP (Core Web Vitals).
Alt Text Always
Every non-decorative image needs an alt attribute for screen readers and Google Image Search. Describe the image content in under 125 characters.
