Best Image Size for Landing Pages

Updated March 31, 2026 · 9 min read

There is no single magic number, but there is a sensible range for landing pages. Landing pages live or die by load speed, and images are usually the heaviest part of them.

Recommended settings for landing pages

SettingStarting point
FormatJPEG (WebP where accepted)
Widthabout 1600 px on the long edge
Quality70
File size150 KB or less

These are practical defaults. If the platform or form you are using publishes its own limits, follow those instead.

Best Image Size

As a starting point, aim for roughly 1600 pixels on the long edge and a file size at or below 150 KB. That combination looks clean on modern screens without wasting bandwidth.

If the place you upload to publishes its own limits, those always win. Treat the numbers here as a practical default when no rule is given, and adjust down if uploads fail or pages feel slow.

  • Strip metadata from images you share publicly.
  • Always keep the original file and compress a copy.

FAQ

How do I compress many images for e-learning courses at once?

Drop all of them into the tool together and use Download all to get a single ZIP.

What JPEG quality should I use for e-learning courses?

Quality around 78 keeps photos looking natural while cutting file size substantially.

Will compressing reduce image quality for e-learning courses?

Some detail is removed, but at sensible settings the difference is not visible at normal viewing size.

Wrapping up

For landing pages, the reliable recipe is simple: resize to around 1600 pixels, compress at quality 70 or to a 150 KB target, and check the result before you upload. Keep the original so you can always start again.
