Here are some free tools and tips I use.</p> <h2> 1. Use modern formats </h2> <p>WebP and AVIF compress better than JPG and PNG. You can convert quickly with <a href="https://fcconvert.com/jpg-to-webp" rel="noopener noreferrer">JPG to WebP</a>, <a href="https://fcconvert.com/png-to-webp" rel="noopener noreferrer">PNG to WebP</a> or <a href="https://fcconvert.com/jpg-to-avif" rel="noopener noreferrer">JPG to AVIF</a>.</p> <h2> 2. Compress before uploading </h2> <p>Run every image through an <a href="https://fcconvert.com/image-compressor" rel="noopener noreferrer">image compressor</a>. Smaller files mean faster load times and better Core Web Vitals.</p> <h2> 3. Handy utilities </h2> <ul> <li> <a href="https://fcconvert.com/word-counter" rel="noopener noreferrer">Word Counter</a> for checking content length</li> <li> <a href="https://fcconvert.com/unit-converter" rel="noopener noreferrer">Unit Converter</a> for quick conversions</li> <li> <a href="https://fcconvert.com/password-generator" rel="noopener noreferrer">Password Generator</a> for strong passwords</li> </ul> <h2> Conclusion </h2> <p>Optimizing images takes only a few minutes but improves speed and SEO.
