    Watch this part 5 sec

  2. STEP 2 OF 4

    Choose a useful output

    Watch this part 6 sec

  3. STEP 3 OF 4

    Compare the result

    Choose WebP, JPEG or PNG as appropriate and review quality, background and the before-and-after file sizes.

    Follow the written instructions for this step.

  4. STEP 4 OF 4

    Download the prepared copy

    Open the downloaded file before using it. Your original is not replaced; keep it and any licence information.

    Watch this part 7 sec

HOW YOU KNOW IT WORKED

Check your result.

The subject is intact, the image is sharp enough and the new file is smaller where practical.

If it doesn’t feel right yet.

Use PNG or WebP if transparency matters. A JPEG does not keep a transparent background.
