Email-Ready Images
Runs in your browserShrink images so they render reliably in email clients and do not bloat the message size.
Why this recipe exists
Email is the most conservative rendering environment left on the internet. Outlook and several corporate clients still handle WebP poorly, attachment limits are small, and images wider than roughly 800 pixels overflow the reading pane on mobile. This recipe produces the safe option: 800 pixels wide, JPEG encoded, and under 100 KB per image so a newsletter with a dozen images stays light.
What it does
- Bound every image to 800px
- Encode as JPEG under 100 KB
- Verify every file is under 100 KB
- Package the results
FAQ
- Why JPEG rather than WebP here?
- Several desktop email clients, notably older Outlook builds, do not render WebP. JPEG is universally supported, which matters more than the extra 30% saving in this context.
- Will transparency be preserved?
- No — JPEG has no alpha channel, so transparent areas are flattened onto white. If you need transparency, use the Image Converter and choose PNG or WebP.
