Why should you optimize your images?
Optimizing your images for the web will increase download speed (making pages and social posts pop right up), build a professional brand image, and help search engines find your content.
Whether you are using stock photography or templates from Canva, these images are usually exported at a large size. This means your images will take a long time to load. You can compress your images using a free website tool like tinypng.com.

Even though you’ll be compressing your images, it is important to start with high quality photos for your image marketing strategy. I mostly use unsplash.com or pixaby.com, but here are 29 more free sites to check out.
