How to compress images online using tinypng

 

How to compress an Image

One of the most important things every website owner should be aware of is website load speed.

Am sure you have come across several articles or ads talking about how important the speed of your website is.  Having dealt with a similar problem in around three to four websites, I must admit that it is not down to one sector.

In simple terms, you can’t fix such a problem by just doing one thing. The most common causes of a heavy website include unused code snippets and images.

In this article we look at how images affect your website speed and how to fix it.

 


There are various ways to reduce the weight of the images on your website before or after uploading them to your website.

The most commonly used method is by uploading them to an image compression website like tinypng.

This website has a few conditions that you must observe before trying to use it to compress your images. Here are some main ones:

1.      1. Your image must be of png or jpeg format(the supported image formats)

2.       2. A single file must not be more than 5mbs

3.      3.  You can only upload up to 20 images at a go.

One interesting feature of this website is that the image compression is lossless. This means you can reduce the image size but retain a sharp quality.

Tinypng does not change your image dimensions; it simply removes unnecessary colors from the image, reducing the pixilation and size.  If you upload an 800 by 800 image, that’s what will be downloaded after compression.

If you need to reduce the dimensions of your image, you can use free image editing websites like canva. With these websites, you can change the image size and orientation. Canva as example also has free templates for different platforms.

This is what I do to take good care of my Headphones - Ow-tech Solutions

 Buying a headphone was one of the things I was excited about when I got my first one. Having used earphones for a long time and getting tired of the frequent cable damage, I had to make a change. The headphone was a very cheap one, the P47 wireless headphones, which is one of the most common and cheapest headphones today. I had no money but wanted to get the experience. On getting the headphone, I became a celeb in my neighborhood, all eyes on me. Let's drop the fantasizing. I used the headphone for slightly over a year. By then, the Bluetooth function was no more since the battery had been damaged, one handle was broken and patched up with insulating tape and the speakers had been repaired several times. I had no idea how to take care of the headphones. I literally learned my lesson the hard way.  From my experience, these tips can be helpful if you want to take good care of your headphones and use them for a long time. 1.
