Keeping your design files optimized is important for faster load times, easier sharing, and better performance—especially for web and digital projects.
Tips to keep file sizes small and efficient:
Compress images: Use tools like TinyPNG, ImageOptim, or Photoshop’s “Save for Web” option to reduce image file sizes without losing quality.
Use the right format: Choose formats like JPEG for photos, PNG for transparency, and SVG for vector graphics.
Clean up unused layers and assets: Delete hidden or unnecessary layers and remove unused fonts or elements.
Flatten layers (when possible): Combine multiple layers to reduce complexity and file size—just make sure you save a backup if you need to edit later.
Optimize resolution: For digital use, 72–150 DPI is often enough. Print requires higher resolution (usually 300 DPI).
Export efficiently: Use export settings that balance quality and size, especially for web and mobile use.
