Quality and privacy

Keep a reusable master and record the settings that worked for Shopify.

Create each revision from the master instead of repeatedly recompressing an exported copy.

Before publishing, check transparency, orientation, faces, names, license plates and GPS metadata.

Check before publishing

Check mobile and desktop crops if the image is used as a responsive banner. Keep the untouched original until the final file has been accepted at its destination. Platform image requirements can change. The current upload screen always takes priority.
