Resize before you compress
A giant source file often stays too heavy even with aggressive quality reduction. The first win usually comes from reducing dimensions.

PUBLISHING NOTES
A giant source file often stays too heavy even with aggressive quality reduction. The first win usually comes from reducing dimensions.
JPEG works well for photos. PNG is better for sharp graphics or transparency. A single format does not fit every publishing case.
Compression is only useful if text, UI labels and charts are still legible at real viewing size.
A common starting point is around 75 to 85 for JPEG, then review the result visually.
Local processing keeps unpublished assets and screenshots off a third-party upload service and speeds up small editing loops.
