# How to Optimize Images for Web
Optimizing images for web can significantly improve the loading speed of your web application. Here are a few tips:
1. **Use Optimized Images**: Use image editing tools to reduce the file size of your images. Common formats like JPEG and PNG have options to optimize for web.
2. **Resize Images**: Resize images to the appropriate dimensions based on their usage. This reduces the file size and improves performance.
3. **Use WebP**: WebP is a modern image format that provides better compression than JPEG and PNG. It's supported by most modern browsers.
4. **Lazy Loading**: Lazy loading delays the loading of images until they are near the viewport. This can improve the initial loading speed of your web application.
5. **Compress Images**: Compress images using online tools or libraries like Sharp.
Remember, the best image optimization technique depends on the specific use case and requirements of your application.
