WORKSPOTHQ — FICTIONAL TEACHING EXAMPLE

A fictional website hero image

Synthetic guidance only. Not a real receipt, claim requirement, or measured processor output.

Source
4,000 × 3,000 pixels
Check: Keep an untouched copy.

Requested slot
1,200 × 900 pixels
Check: The same 4:3 ratio allows proportional resizing without cropping.

Resized dimensions
1,080,000 pixels instead of 12,000,000
Check: Fewer pixels do not imply a specific file-size saving.

Compressed copy
Compare at its intended display size
Check: Inspect lettering, fine edges and gradients before accepting it.

Resize first, then compare compression choices. A smaller download is useful only if the product remains clear. Check the actual site on a high-density screen too; the required source dimensions depend on how the image is displayed.

REVIEW CHECKLIST

1. Determine the intended display dimensions.

2. Resize a copy while preserving its aspect ratio.

3. Compress and inspect text, edges and gradients.

4. Test the exported file in the real page layout.

LIMITATIONS

Compression trades quality for size; do not promise lossless results. Test responsive display and accessibility text separately in your website.
