Content optimization

1. Use the right dimensions for each platform. Wrong dimensions cause cropping or blurring.

2. Optimize file size. Large images increase load time. Use WebP or compressed JPEG.

3. Add text overlay. Title or CTA (call-to-action) text on the image attracts attention.

4. Consistent brand identity: Use the same color palette, font, and logo across all platforms.

5. A/B testing: Test different image variants. Measure which image gets more engagement.
