Why it matters
Checking these high-frequency issues solves most cases.
300dpi is a common print requirement.
Step by step
- Back up the original; never overwrite the only copy.
- Confirm the target platform's format, dimensions and size limit.
- Cap the longest side first, then quality; change one variable at a time.
- Compare size and sharpness after compressing, and step back one setting if needed.
- Keep the original until the output is confirmed.
Common mistakes
- Chasing the smallest file and blurring text/edges.
- Converting transparent PNG to JPEG, turning transparency white or black.
- Recompressing the same file and accumulating loss.
- Overwriting the original, so a bad result cannot be undone.
Checklist
- Original backed up.
- Output format/dimensions/size meet the platform.
- Text is readable and transparency is correct.
- Verified in the real page/email/upload field.
- Original kept until confirmed.
Key facts
