Pre-wedding photos are the most important visual element of your invitation website. However, raw files from photographers are usually huge (5MB - 10MB per file). If you upload them directly, the website will feel incredibly sluggish for your guests.
Correct Image Optimization Techniques:
- Downsize Resolution: For web display, you don’t need 4K resolution. A width of 1920px (Full HD) is more than enough for clarity.
- Use Modern Formats (WebP): The WebP format is much lighter than JPEG or PNG while maintaining sharp image details.
- Tiered Compression: Use tools like TinyPNG or your vendor’s built-in compressor to reduce file size to under 500KB per photo.
Impact on Guest Experience
A lightweight website makes page transitions (like moving from profile to gallery) feel seamless. Guests won’t get “stuck” while trying to view your beautiful photos.
