Avoid Over-Compression

Compression ka goal size kam karna hai, quality khatam karna nahi. Visual checks se aap sweet spot jaldi pakad lenge. Yeh playbook practical fixes deta hai.

Watch for

• Banding (gradients me steps)
• Halos (over‑sharpening ki wajah se)
• Color shifts (wrong profiles)

Common causes

• Over‑aggressive quality (AVIF/WebP)
• Excessive denoise/sharpen sequence
• Chroma subsampling on text/UI

Fix playbook

1. Artifacts spot karein at 100%/200%
2. Quality +3 to +5 step up
3. Sharpen amount/radius reduce
4. UI assets → lossless try karein
5. sRGB enforce; re‑export with embedded profile

Gradient banding hacks

Mild noise/dither gradients me banding hide karta hai — specially hero backgrounds me. AVIF Q+3 aur light dither combo reliable hai.

Skin tones and brand colors

Human perception most sensitive yahin hota hai. Reference swatches compare karein; agar break ho to quality thoda raise karein ya codec switch (WebP ↔ AVIF) try karein.

Checklist (copy‑paste)

• No halos on edges
• No crushed blacks or blown highlights
• Gradients smooth (no steps)
• Text/UI edges razor‑sharp
• CLS‑safe width/height attributes

In ImageToolkit Pro

1. Compress Images me preset choose karein
2. Sample previews check; banding/halos note karein
3. Quality adjust; chroma options tweak karein
4. Run full batch; logs/file budgets review

FAQs

Q: Kya 100 KB per image target sahi hai?
A: Context dependent. Thumbnails 80–120 KB; content 200–420 KB typical. Template wise budget define karein.

Q: WebP ya AVIF me kaun zyada artifacts deta hai?
A: Scenario based. AVIF gradients me better; noisy textures me dono ka behavior test karein.

Wrap‑up

Light files, crisp visuals — balance hi win hai. Over‑optimize mat karein; consistent budgets + visual QA best outcomes dete hain.
