Avatar optimization tips

Use these before you upload or share the page.

Most platforms display avatars at 400×400px or smaller — resize to your target platform's display size first, then compress to under 500KB for fast loading.

JPEG at 80-85% quality is ideal for photo avatars; PNG is better for logos with text or transparency since it preserves sharp edges.

Use the batch ZIP export to prepare a full set of team or community avatars in one session — each file gets a skwish prefix so you can track which are optimized.
