Optimize and Compress Images

[dchen97]

Compressing and resizing https://oppiafoundation.org/assets/images/home/home_impact.jpg could save 60.9KiB (73% reduction).

Compressing https://oppiafoundation.org/assets/images/navbar/oppia_foundation_logo.png could save 1.2KiB (30% reduction).

Hi @dchen97 what are you using to compress the images to get the result you mention?

I have a suggestion... can we use webp format to compress the size of images?? @dchen97

[hoangviet1993]

Thanks @iharshit009 for the suggestion!

I individually compressed all images before putting them in the repo. I could use a different tool to further compress them.

@iharshit009 How do you think Webp will help with compression? Have you had experience converting jpeg to webp? I can get you the original uncompressed version if you want to give it a try!

[iharshit009]

Yes I have worked on a project where I converted jpeg to webp format so as to optimise the webpage...

I would feel honoured if I could get a chance to look at the issue and work for optimisation... Please share the original uncompressed version. I will look into and revert you soon

So I did some digging and managed to find the original source of the photo.

@iharshit009 Would you mind going to my provided link, click "Free Download" and then select "Original"? A year ago, I was emailed the photo by the designer at the time and it was around 5MB. I think downloading from the source would prevent cross-server compression. https://www.maxpixel.net/Different-Happy-Faces-Children-Rural-Drawings-1853193

Also, according to caniuse, Safari has yet to support WebP. Safari is the default browser engine for iOS devices. How do you address this problem?

Thanks for your email, I would look into it soon.
