Quick answer

The most common Ecommerce uploads mistakes are overwriting originals, ignoring format/quality and not checking the output. Ecommerce backends often restrict format/dimensions/KB; read the rules before batch compressing.

Why it matters

These mistakes cause irreversible data or quality loss.

Main, detail and document images may have different rules.

Step by step

  1. Back up the original; never overwrite the only copy.
  2. Confirm the target platform's format, dimensions and size limit.
  3. Cap the longest side first, then quality; change one variable at a time.
  4. Compare size and sharpness after compressing, and step back one setting if needed.
  5. 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

  • Main, detail and document images may have different rules.
  • Flatten transparent PNG onto white before JPEG.
