Resize media

Resizing is the fastest way to reduce file size. Pick a format to get examples you can run locally with optimo.

Images

For UI screenshots, try `--resize w960` (or similar) before converting formats.

For hero images, cap width (`--resize w1920`) to avoid shipping huge originals.

For product galleries, try `--resize w1280` to control worst-case payload.

Use `--resize w1600` (or similar) to cap large camera exports.

Phone photos are often huge; resize first to the max display size.

Resize to your max render size before generating final delivery formats.

Animated GIFs explode in size with resolution; resize aggressively.

SVG is vector; “resizing” usually happens at render time, not by rewriting the file.

Videos

Match the video width to the player size; oversizing wastes bandwidth.

For product UI recordings, `--resize w1280` is often enough.

Editor exports can be overkill; resize to the max player dimensions.

If this is archival, keep MKV; if it’s delivery, convert and resize.

AVI sources can be huge; start by capping width.

Cap resolution to the player size; don’t ship larger than necessary.

Resize modes: percent (50%), dimensions (w960 / h480), or target size (100kB).
