Example 1: Resize a photo for the website
Input:
A smartphone photo as a JPG with 4,032 × 3,024 px and 4.2 MB. “For the website” quick preset: WebP, quality 80, no more than 1,600 px wide.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| New pixel dimensions | 1,600 Ă— 1,200 px |
| Megapixels before / after | 12.2 / 1.9 |
| Format | WebP |
| New file size (typical) | 150 KB – 300 KB |
| Typical savings | 93 – 97 % |
In words: 4,032 Ă— 3,024 px becomes 1,600 Ă— 1,200 px. The image then has only about 16% as many pixels. The file typically shrinks from 4.2 MB to between 150 KB and 300 KB, a reduction of 93 to 97%. The exact size depends on the image: smooth areas compress better than foliage or noise.
