How to Upload Images for Websites
Steps and best practices for uploading images for use on websites: format, size, naming, and hosting.
Before uploading images for a website, resize them to the size you will display (or slightly larger for retina). Use descriptive file names and a consistent format (e.g., WebP or JPEG) to keep pages fast and organized.
Upload to a reliable host that provides stable URLs and good uptime. Many site builders include built-in media libraries; standalone image hosts are useful when you need one place to manage assets for multiple sites or projects.
After uploading, use the provided URL in your site’s img tags or CMS. Image Store and similar services let you upload, organize, and copy links so your website can load images quickly and reliably.
