Why Multiple Dimensions?
Mobile doesn't need 1920px. Smaller images = faster load. Use srcset and sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is srcset for responsive images?
- srcset lets you provide multiple image sizes so the browser picks the best one for the screen. For example, offer 640w, 1024w, and 1920w versions. The browser downloads only the appropriate size, saving data and improving load time on mobile.
- What dimensions for mobile vs desktop?
- Mobile viewports are typically 640–768px wide. Tablets 1024px. Desktop 1280–1920px. Serve images sized for each breakpoint. A mobile user does not need a 1920px image—640–800px is sufficient and loads faster.
- How do I create multiple image sizes?
- Use the Bulk Resizer on Pngtm.com to create several sizes from your originals. Export 640, 1024, and 1920 pixel widths. Then use srcset and sizes in HTML to let the browser choose. Batch processing saves time for many images.
