Compress Image File Size

Overview

One easy way to help improve the experience people have viewing your site is to compress the images. Ideally, images will be 10-50KB, depending on size and complexity. Resizing images doesn’t change the file size automatically. However, SharePoint Designer and FrontPage do have the ability to compress the images for you.

Compressing Images

  • In SharePoint Designer or FrontPage
  • Open a webpage which contains a slow or large image file
  • Go to View, then Toolbars, then Pictures
  • Click on one of the images
  • Click the Resample icon
  • Save your page and overwrite the image
