Why use a 500KB compression target?
A 500KB limit is common when you need a sharper image than very small targets like 50KB or 100KB. It works well for product photos, blog images, and marketplace uploads where clarity matters. Keeping files near 500KB can also improve page speed compared with multi-megabyte images.
