A single high-resolution product photo can weigh 4 MB. A portfolio gallery with 30 shots quickly hits 120 MB. Email inboxes and mobile uploads often reject anything above 10 MB.
Why file size still matters on fast networks

One slider beats guessing in photo editors
Desktop editing apps bury export quality behind ten menus. A simple slider removes the guesswork. Lower values shrink files more aggressively; values above 80 usually keep details intact.
Watch for banding on gradients
Smooth skies and skin tones show compression artifacts first. If you notice color banding, raise the quality a few points and re-export.
