If you're reading this then you probably want to know how to make website photos and images smaller. Whether you're blogging, running an e-commerce store or a sole trader selling at local events, using images which are too big will slow down your website and will stop you selling as much.
So to help, DO Digitel built a free image resizer which you can use to make your website images smaller and help to keep your website load times down. If you want to monitor the impact which large images have on your website, why not track you website loading performance with our free load time monitor, it's called PaceSetter.
Being able to identify which images are too big on your website is pretty important for all of your digital marketing. Think of it another way, have you ever wondered why some of your images don't look as good as you'd like when you upload them to a social media platform? It's because the social platforms know the height and width they need to be and have compressed the video or picture to make the file size as small as possible.
That's because they know the smaller the file size, the faster the content will load and the faster it loads, the more you keep consuming content. Well, the same is true for images on your small business website.
What do I do About Images & Photos Which are Too Big?
If you have image files which are the right height and width for the space they go into, then you just need to make sure you've compressed them. It's really easy and we even have an image compressing tool that you can use to do just that. We've also created a separate video guide to show you how it works if you need help.
On the other hand, if your image height and width are too big, then it's also worth resizing your image as well as compressing it and our image resizing tool will let you do that too.
Benefits of Resizing Photos & Images
Yes, it might feel like another thing to do on your website but there's a proven connection between fast websites and conversion rate, in simple terms, the faster your website loads, the more you should sell.
Therefore it's time well spent to resize images on your website.
You can find all of our videos on our YouTube Channel (don't forget to like & subscribe) and they will also be posted to the website on a regular basis. We've kept them short to make them digestible and covered just the essentials you need to get going, we want you to get the most of out the platform rather than bamboozling you with detail.
