What Size Should My Images Be?
"Image Size" usually means two things:
- First is the dimensions of the image such as 150 x 100 pixels.
- Then there is the file size of the image in bytes.

General Tips for Web Images
Use a Good Image Editor
I prefer using Adobe Photoshop Elements because it is powerful enough to edit most images and costs less than $100.
Photoshop as a great feature to "Save for the web" that you can use to set the image quality, size, etc. And it shows you how many seconds it will take for someone to download the image file.
There are others you can try but I find Photoshop works best for me.

- Save the picture as either JPEG, GIF or PNG format.
