Why This Tool for Optimizing Images for Google Discover & News?
Many image optimization tools require you to upload your images to their servers, which can be a concern when you’re working with private or sensitive images. Some tools also come with intrusive popups, excessive ads, confusing interfaces, or slow and buggy experiences.
We built this tool with a different approach. Image quality comes first. Instead of aggressively compressing your images just to achieve the smallest possible file size, the optimizer focuses on reducing file size while keeping your images looking sharp and clear.
It’s designed to be simple, fast, and easy to use, without unnecessary steps getting in your way.

Google Discover Image Requirements
- Use high-quality images that are at least 1200 pixels wide.
- Use a 16:9 aspect ratio for wide article and news images.

- Use images that are relevant to the article and clearly represent its content.
- Avoid using only logos, generic images, or text-heavy graphics as the main image.

- Google News supports common image formats that can be crawled and indexed.
- Use images that are placed near the related article content.
- Use og:image or appropriate structured data to help identify the preferred article image.

FAQs
What is the best image size for Google Discover?
Google recommends images that are at least 1200 pixels wide for eligibility for larger image previews in Discover. A 16:9 landscape image is a practical choice for articles and news content.
What is the ideal image file size for Google Discover?
There is no official Google Discover file-size limit. A good approach is to make the image as small as reasonably possible while maintaining good visual quality. For many web images, 100 to 150 KB can be a useful optimization target, but detailed photographs may need a larger file size.
Is WebP good for Google Discover?
Yes. WebP is a modern web image format that can provide smaller file sizes while maintaining good visual quality. Google Discover does not require images to be WebP, so JPG, JPEG, and other supported formats can also be used.
Does compressing an image affect its quality?
It can, depending on the compression level. Excessive compression can create visible artifacts and reduce image quality. A good image optimizer balances file size and visual quality instead of simply trying to produce the smallest possible file.
What aspect ratio is best for Google Discover images?
A 16:9 landscape ratio works well for article images and is commonly used for large image previews. Keeping important subjects near the center of the image can also help when the image is displayed in different layouts.
Can I convert JPG or PNG to WebP?
Yes. Converting JPG or PNG images to WebP can reduce file size while maintaining good visual quality. The amount of savings depends on the original image, dimensions, and compression settings.
Is 1280 × 720 a good size for Google Discover?
Yes. 1280 × 720 pixels provides a 16:9 image that is wider than Google’s 1200-pixel recommendation for large Discover previews. It is a practical size for many articles, blogs, and news images. But if you want a maximum quality and high chances to rank in disover, the 1600 × 900 px resolution image is priority more.
Does optimizing an image guarantee Google Discover traffic?
No. Image optimization can help with image quality, file size, and page performance, but it does not guarantee that Google will show your content in Discover. Discovering visibility depends on many factors beyond image optimization.
Can I optimize images for Google News with this tool?
Yes. You can resize, crop, compress, and convert supported images before using them in news articles. For Google News, make sure your images are relevant to the story and accessible to Google for crawling and indexing.
Does this tool upload my images to a server?
If your implementation processes images entirely in the browser, you can state that images are processed locally and are not uploaded to your server. Only use this wording if it is technically true for your tool.
