Resize your image size to 250kB. Supports JPG, PNG, and WebP image formats.
Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP above to compress it to 250KB — processed in your browser, nothing sent to a server. 250KB is a practical upper limit for web content images: large enough to look sharp on standard screens, small enough to load quickly on 4G mobile connections.
250KB is a good default for images that are important but not the page's focal point: article thumbnails in a list view, supporting images in a long-form post, category page images on an ecommerce site. The main hero image on a landing page might warrant staying closer to 150KB; a full-bleed background image might justify 300–400KB. For everything between those two extremes, 250KB is a reasonable default.
Email newsletters benefit from 250KB images when the content is image-heavy — product showcases, lookbooks, promotional flyers. Most email clients will display images under 500KB without clipping, but loading five 500KB images in a newsletter adds up. Three images at 250KB each gives you the same visual weight for far less load time.
Shopify recommends keeping product images under 70KB for the fastest store speed, but their image CDN resizes and serves images at appropriate dimensions for each context automatically. The file you upload is the source Shopify works from — uploading at 250KB rather than 4MB means the resized versions Shopify generates are all proportionally leaner. It also means the full-size image (which some themes load for zoom views) doesn't penalise mobile visitors.
For images where you need Shopify's zoom feature to show fine product detail, consider 500KB instead — you get more quality at zoom level while still avoiding the multi-megabyte uploads that slow generation of Shopify's auto-crops.
For product photography and lifestyle images: JPG at 250KB gives you better visual quality than PNG at the same size because lossy compression handles continuous colour gradients (fabric, skin, background gradients) more efficiently. PNG at 250KB for a photograph will show visible posterisation on smooth areas. Use JPG for photos and PNG only when transparency is genuinely required.

Save and use directly. For CMS uploads, check whether your platform applies additional compression on top — if it does, starting at 250KB means the final served image will be proportionally leaner.
