Hello, Saba,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

For optimal performance and a professional appearance of your website, we recommend the following image size guidelines:

1. Product Images:
– File Size: Ideally under 500 KB (0.5 MB) per image.
– Dimensions: Approximately 800 x 800 pixels for square images.
– Format: Use JPEG for photos and PNG for images with transparency.

Use optimized images only otherwise you will have big images and a slow loading time. Do not upload larger images than what is needed. When you use an image editing tool like Photoshop don’t save images without using the option “Save For Web”.

There are different ways on how to compress images. Use special services or WordPress plugins to optimize your images for decreased loading times: tinypng.com, Compressor.io, EWWW Image Optimizer, Smush Image Compression and Optimization plugin.

2. Banner Images (e.g., homepage sliders or hero images):
– File Size: Preferably under 1 MB, but up to 2 MB can be acceptable depending on quality and resolution.
– Dimensions: Typically 1920 x 600 pixels or 1920 x 1080 pixels, depending on your design layout.
– Format: JPEG is recommended for faster loading; PNG can be used if transparency is needed.

3. Category Thumbnails:
– File Size: Under 300 KB.
– Dimensions: Around 300 x 300 pixels.
– Format: JPEG or PNG.

4. Blog Post Images:
– File Size: Under 500 KB.
– Dimensions: Around 1200 x 628 pixels (for social sharing compatibility).
– Format: JPEG.

Tips for a Good-Looking and Professional Website:

– Use consistent image dimensions and aspect ratios across your site to maintain a clean layout.
– Optimize all images using tools like TinyPNG or ImageOptim to reduce file size without compromising quality.
– Maintain a consistent color scheme and typography throughout your website.
– Use high-quality images that reflect your brand and products accurately.
– Ensure your website is mobile-responsive and loads quickly.
– Keep the layout clean and uncluttered, with clear navigation and call-to-action buttons.
– Regularly update your content and images to keep the site fresh and engaging.

We hope this information helps you enhance your website’s performance and appearance.

Warm Regards,
The 8Theme Team
