Ever notice how crisp, high-quality images just pop on social media? Blurry visuals, on the other hand, signal a lack of professionalism and can cause users to scroll right past. Posts with high-resolution images consistently outperform low-res visuals: Instagram’s median engagement rate, for example, was 2.94% in early 2024 but fell to 0.61% by 2025, as competition for attention and visual quality ramp up. Clear, sharp images boost perceived value and can increase engagement across platforms where visuals are key.
To help, CDM Suite guides clients in optimizing every image for maximum impact. Here’s how to make your visuals stand out and drive real results:
Action Steps:
Check Your Dimensions: Follow the recommended image sizes for each social platform to avoid unnecessary compression or cropping.
Use High-Res Files: Start with the clearest, largest source files available.
Optimize for Web: Compress images with tools like TinyPNG to reduce load times without sacrificing quality.
Test Different Formats: Experiment with JPG, PNG, and GIF to see which delivers the best results for your audience.
Invest in Quality Stock: Choose premium, relevant stock images over generic or low-quality options.
