Even though we all take digi-cameras, phone cameras and webcams for granted these days, not many people know diddly squat about how to get those images from their camera up to their website – first getting them the right size and shape and even better, getting them looking great.
Many people don’t realise that the file size of the average digi-camera photo is way too heavy for the average website and so, to ensure their website doesn’t take hours to load, they also need to compress the file to make it lighter. This may sound a bit technical, but these days, is a simple process to learn how to do. All using free software or the software you already have.
