Practical explanation
eBay uploads can be slow or fail when camera photos are too large.
Compress product images while preserving enough detail for buyers to inspect items.
Use compression for smaller byte size, resizing for fewer pixels, and conversion when the current format is not right for the destination. Very small targets can require visible tradeoffs, so compare the preview before downloading.
