If you are one of those who prefer to control the image optimization process for WordPress from your own desktop, you can do so with several tools . Among them are:

Photoshop
This world-renowned paid program for editing photos has a specific tool for saving images optimized for the web , and it is really easy to use. That's why I'm going to give you a brief explanation of how to use this tool.

After you have adapted the size of your image, you will only have to go to File->Export->Save for Web (legacy) and it will show you a screen where you can choose several options , among which you will control the format and quality , direct mail mortgage marketing list lastdatabase while you will be able to control the resulting weight before saving it and always with a preview available in real time. This way you will be able to assess for yourself where the balance between weight and quality is.



Affinity Photo
A cheaper alternative to Photoshop, which also has built-in image optimization features . All you have to do is try it out and decide if you prefer it to Photoshop.

Gimp
A free tool, somewhat complex to learn to use at first, but with good image optimization. You can download it from the following link .

Image optimization for WordPress online
You can use online tools that make the task of optimizing images for WordPress easy. Some of these tools are:

TinyPNG
This online tool is very easy to use. Basically, you have to access the website and upload the images you want (either by dragging or selecting from the browser). Once it processes them automatically and almost instantly, it gives you the option to download them and also indicates the percentage of optimization that has been possible to apply with the minimum possible loss of quality.



Optimize
Another alternative that, like TinyPNG, is fast and easy to use. We can upload up to 20 images at once, but with the difference that this tool does allow us to select the quality, better controlling the final weight . It also shows a preview of what the final result will look like. To try it out, you can access its page from here .

Compressor.io
Similar to the other 2 online tools we can use, this website offers us the possibility to select between LOSSY, LOSSLESS and CUSTOM compression types (the latter is available with a subscription) and the results are very optimal as well.

Again, you just have to select the images to compress, with a weight limit of 10MB, and the tool will do the rest of the work.

JPG-Optimizer
This online tool gives us the possibility to select the compression percentage like the previous ones, but it also allows us to indicate the width of the image , so that in addition to compressing it, it also resizes it . A good alternative when we do not have the final dimensions of the photo we want to optimize for WordPress.



As you can see, you have several options to optimize your images online , without having to install software on your computer and which are also easy and quick to use. I have given you some examples, but with a simple search you can find many similar tools .
