Improve page usability by matching image dimensions, choosing sensible formats, and adding meaningful alternative text.

Blog images should support the article rather than simply fill space. A relevant diagram or screenshot can explain a step faster than another paragraph, but oversized decorative images add weight without helping readers. Start with a clear purpose for each visual.

How to approach it

Resize images for the content layout, compress them carefully, and use descriptive filenames. Write alternative text that communicates the useful information in the image; do not stuff it with repeated keywords. Test the page on mobile and ensure the image does not push essential text too far down.

Checks before you share

Keep an untouched source file, inspect the exported copy at full size, and confirm that the result suits its intended use. If the image contains private information, check the entire frame and its metadata before publishing.

Frequently asked question

Does alt text help every image?

Alt text helps people using screen readers understand meaningful images; purely decorative images can use empty alt text.

For a practical next step, try the Image Compressor. You can also use the Image Resizer for a related image task.
