In this video I show you how to optimize your photos for best website performance and faster downloads. I show you how to correctly set your image size and pixel dimension in both Adobe Photoshop and a free program called IrfanView. First I show you how to save images for website in photoshop at the right size, by setting the pixel dimension and the quality when saving. I also show you the best image size for website use.

I explain the difference between pixel count and PPI (pixels per inch) and how you can correctly change either depending on whether you want to print or display your images on the Internet.
