Why Compress to 6MB?
Photography communities on Flickr, 500px, and ViewBug recommend uploads in the 4-8MB range for the best balance of viewing quality and page performance. At 6MB, landscape and nature photographers retain the fine foliage textures, cloud gradients, and color transitions that define their work. Google Drive and Dropbox shared-link previews render 6MB images quickly without prompting a download dialog. Notion and Confluence wiki pages handle inline 6MB images well, making this a good target for team documentation that includes detailed screenshots, diagrams, or annotated photos.
Tips for Compressing to 6MB
For landscape photography, 6MB at full camera resolution (e.g., 6000x4000) preserves virtually all visible detail on screen.
When sharing via Google Drive or Dropbox links, 6MB files generate fast inline previews without forcing recipients to download.
If your Notion or Confluence pages feel slow, check total image weight — keeping each image at 6MB or below usually solves the issue.
