Use 2560\u00d71440 on desktop (or 2880\u00d71620 for ultra-detailed linework) and 1440\u00d7810 on mobile. After compression, aim for ~250\u2013600KB WebP, or ~350\u2013900KB JPEG fallback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do I export gallery thumbnails from PromeAI without making my portfolio page slow?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use dedicated thumbnail exports instead of resizing huge images in CSS. Good defaults are 800\u00d7800 for square grids or 960\u00d7640 for 3:2 grids; for masonry layouts that expand, go up to ~1200px on the long edge. Target 30\u201390KB per thumbnail in WebP to keep grids lightweight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What&#8217;s the best long-edge size for PromeAI case study images while keeping web quality crisp?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Split case study images into standard and zoom-worthy. For most in-page images, export 1800\u20132200px on the long edge for a strong clarity\/speed balance. Reserve 2800\u20133200px for one or two detail images. Typical targets are 150\u2013500KB (standard) and 400KB\u20131.2MB (detail) as WebP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Should I use <\/strong><strong>WebP<\/strong><strong> or JPEG to improve PromeAI export images portfolio web quality?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use WebP by default for renders, concept art, mockups, and photo-heavy pages because it usually delivers similar quality at fewer bytes. Switch to JPEG if you see gradient banding (skies\/backdrops) or WebP &#8220;mosquito noise&#8221; on fine textures. If your site supports it, serve WebP with JPEG fallback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What compression settings work best for PromeAI exports on portfolio websites?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start with WebP (lossy) quality around Q=60\u201370 for thumbnails, Q=70\u201382 for standard case study images, and Q=78\u201388 for hero images. For JPEG, use similar ranges (often slightly lower for heroes). Always check at 100% zoom: bump +5 for brittle text\/linework; change formats if gradients band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recommended Reads<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-promeai-blog wp-block-embed-promeai-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"SwlR72BrHD\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.promeai.pro\/blog\/fix-ai-render-problems-promeai\/\">Fix AI Render Problems: Muddy Details &amp; Overcooked Look (PromeAI)<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Fix AI Render Problems: Muddy Details &amp; Overcooked Look (PromeAI)&#8221; &#8212; PromeAI Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/www.promeai.pro\/blog\/fix-ai-render-problems-promeai\/embed\/#?secret=DYC1GbxqIz#?secret=SwlR72BrHD\" data-secret=\"SwlR72BrHD\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-promeai-blog wp-block-embed-promeai-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"02dxeOF4am\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.promeai.pro\/blog\/promeai-outpainting-ad-banner-templates-by-platform-size\/\">PromeAI Outpainting: Ad Banner Templates by Platform Size<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;PromeAI Outpainting: Ad Banner Templates by Platform Size&#8221; &#8212; PromeAI Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/www.promeai.pro\/blog\/promeai-outpainting-ad-banner-templates-by-platform-size\/embed\/#?secret=FEevFhhRfJ#?secret=02dxeOF4am\" data-secret=\"02dxeOF4am\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-promeai-blog wp-block-embed-promeai-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"KHsSy88WtN\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.promeai.pro\/blog\/promeai-upscaler-best-practices\/\">PromeAI HD Upscaler: When to Use (Decision Guide)<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;PromeAI HD Upscaler: When to Use (Decision Guide)&#8221; &#8212; PromeAI Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/www.promeai.pro\/blog\/promeai-upscaler-best-practices\/embed\/#?secret=pcby8YACck#?secret=KHsSy88WtN\" data-secret=\"KHsSy88WtN\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night, I did the thing I always tell clients not to do.
