Resources for free images, file compression & cropping, we suggest using the webp format for the best compression or avif, although these tools sometimes make the file size bigger so please check. The idea media kb size is anything below 120kb but the smaller the better.

Image libraries always check any image copyright, when you download the file change the name but add a ref eg: ‘nice picture of boat company name pix-4569876234.jpg‘ so here I’ve added pix-4569876234 for pixabay and the image file ref. Should someone come along and say you are using a copyright image you know where it came from.

Yes this happens with spammers trying to earn a quick buck claiming the image belongs to their client, so for the small amount of time it takes be safe, because you won’t remember 6 months from now what resource an image came from.

You have the perfect image well almost, it just has things in the picture that ruin the actually purpose that you need it for. Welcome to the world of image cropping (link) to get the perfect result, please bear in mind that your cropped image may still need to be compressed.

We are just looking at one online tool called Squoosh (link) with this you drag drop an image onto the tool – in the bottom left corner is the current file size – bottom left corner is the file size with compression and the download button. This app also offers a resizing option, I would suggest that if you have done a file compression you download that, if you now need to resize the image re upload the compressed file
