Web graphics services
Our web graphics services are all geared to providing our customers with
graphics that are attractive and load efficiently from web pages. Image sizing and
data compression are the two most common tools we use. Our optimized web graphics
may or may not include enhancements, but even if they look identical to the
originals, they're more "web friendly" for both web site operators and users.
We prefer to work with JPEG images because of their inherent efficiency and
flexibility, but we can work with all common graphics formats. Unless a customer
requests otherwise, all our web graphic images are supplied as optimally sized JPEG
files using progressive encoding. Packages including both full-size and thumbnail
images, along with a cut-and-paste HTML wrapper are available.
