Best JPEG Quality Setting for Landing Pages

Updated June 17, 2026 · 7 min read

Quality is the slider people touch first, yet it is often the least understood. 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 JPEG Quality Setting

JPEG quality is not a percentage of the original. It controls how aggressively fine detail is discarded. Between 90 and 100 the file grows quickly for almost no visible gain, while between 70 and 85 most photos look identical at normal viewing size.

For landing pages, quality 70 is a good default. Drop toward 60 for small thumbnails or simple graphics, and stay nearer 85 for images people will zoom into.
