# aggressively ensmallening images for web
*adapted from rek's described steps [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfrB4Gvpj8c)*
**assuming that you are compressing to jpeg using GNU Image Manipulation Program (which i like to call g-image):**
- scale down the image
- scale the image to the smallest size you're willing to accept for your use case
**the next steps are during the export step in g-image under the "advanced" menu:**
- reduce quality
- set compression quality as low as 20 (or as low as you can accept)
- smooth image
- between .10 and .15
- progressive sampling
- check "progressive" in conversion menu (makes the image load in a smoother way on slow connections)
- stripping metadata
- strip it all
- color subsampling
- set to 4:2:0
