How to Optimize Images for SEO Before Uploading

Are your images slowing down your site or missing out on search traffic? Unoptimized images hurt both performance and SEO. With Summrly, every image is automatically optimized at upload: compressed for speed, renamed with keywords, and given AI-generated alt text — so your visuals work as hard as your content.

Why a Content-First Website Solves This

Since your site starts with a topic, Summrly knows what your images should represent. Upload a photo of a smoothie, and the AI suggests alt text like “green protein smoothie with spinach, banana, and almond milk” — boosting your chances of appearing in Google Images and improving accessibility.

When uploading an image, Summrly automatically: renames it using your topic keywords (e.g., “vegan-meal-prep-container.jpg”), compresses it without quality loss, and generates descriptive alt text. You can edit any field before saving — but most users keep the AI suggestions for speed and SEO.

Enter your topic below to start building your site and ensure every image boosts your SEO, loads fast, and enhances your message.
