Checks that make image editing safer
Before editing
- Keep the original image and edit a copy when possible.
- Check the final size requirements for social posts, blogs, forms, or documents.
- For images with text or logos, make sure cropping and resizing will keep them readable.
After editing
- Preview the result on both mobile and desktop if it will be published online.
- If the file is still large, use image compression before publishing or sharing.
- Compare visual edits such as watermarking or grayscale with the original to confirm the result fits the goal.
