1. Choose the right file format.

Try to make a real-life photograph into GIF to

see the difference between PNG, GIF and JPEG. Knowing the purpose is the
key to finding out the best file formats.

2. Choose the right image size. A camera with 12 megapixels constitutes to a

bigger image size. Monitors have a resolution limit, so even if you have a
million megapixels, it will not display everything. Thus, it is not always wise to
make our image big, most especially in a website. Know how much space you
want the image to consume. Or have a “preview” image where the audience

has the option to “see full size.”

3. Caption it. Remember to put a caption on images whenever possible. If its
not related to the web page, then remove it.
