WebP and AVIF: How to Compress Images Without Losing Impact

01 Formats

AVIF offers maximum compression for modern browsers, WebP is a universal fallback, and JPEG/PNG should be used only where needed. Use picture/source.

02 Sizes

srcset for breakpoints, width/height to prevent CLS, and fetchpriority=high reserved only for the LCP image.

03 Team process

Design exports at 2x, development generates derivatives in CI or on the CDN. Don't ship 4K images to a blog.
