Steps to verify
- Define what the image communicates.
- Inspect essential areas at real display size.
- Choose using size and readability together.
How to interpret the result
Lossy encoding can show around text and lines. Size-only comparisons can miss essential information loss.
Deciding what to do next
Use higher quality or another format when numbers or instructions blur. Check recompression in the publishing system too.
Feature scope
Export a new file at the same dimensions in the browser. Compare JPEG/WebP quality and format; PNG quality behaves differently and the output is not always smaller.
