How to Use Kreativ Workflows Image Prep for Web-Ready Images
Image Prep is useful when one image needs a full delivery pass in the right order. Instead of opening crop, resize, and compression separately, you move through one guided flow and export once at the end.
Why the workflow order matters
Crop first so the frame is right, resize second so the dimensions match the destination, and compress last so you do not repeatedly optimize file versions you will discard anyway.
Best use cases
- Preparing a product image for a store listing
- Cleaning up a thumbnail or blog illustration
- Exporting one lighter image for web delivery without opening design software
What to check before exporting
Make sure the crop still reads well at small sizes, the resize target matches the real destination, and the compression format suits the job. WEBP is often the best final format for websites, while JPG can still be simpler for broad compatibility.
When to leave the workflow
If you only need one step, the standalone tools are still faster. Workflows is best when you know the file needs multiple operations and you want the sequence handled in one place.
Use the workflow
Open Image Prep Workflow to run crop, resize, compress, and export in one guided session.
