Color Profiles and sRGB for Event Flyers
Colours that look vivid on your camera can look dull after upload if profiles are mishandled. Flyers get forwarded through chats and email, and a lighter file travels further without friction.
Recommended settings for event flyers
| Setting | Starting point |
|---|---|
| Format | JPEG (WebP where accepted) |
| Width | about 1600 px on the long edge |
| Quality | 78 |
| File size | 300 KB or less |
These are practical defaults. If the platform or form you are using publishes its own limits, follow those instead.
Color Profiles and sRGB
Most screens and browsers assume sRGB. Photos in wider profiles may shift when the profile is dropped during upload.
Browser-based compression outputs standard sRGB pixels, which is what event flyers expects. If colours change dramatically, export from your editor in sRGB before compressing.
Step by step with TheCompressJPEG
- Open the compress JPEG to 300 KB tool, or the main compressor for custom settings.

- Press Compress, check the result and download it.
Quick tips
- Write a size limit slightly below the stated maximum to leave a margin.
- Process private images locally rather than uploading them to unknown servers.
- Crop out distractions so pixels go to the subject.
