Does HA compress images

When customizing my lovelace dashboard and adding picture cards, does HA compress the images? Because I have a 2MB image for example (you know phones today) and Id like to use it but only if HA will compress it down. Otherwise Ill compress it myself so that HA doesnt get bogged down rendering those images.

It doesn’t compress. I came across this when I used a background image which was 1920x1080. You’ll have to compress/resize it yourself to save bandwidth and improve loading.

Its not that hard though

convert -resize 50% myfigure.jpg myfigure-resized.jpg
or
convert -resize 640x480 myfigure.jpg myfigure-resized.jpg

where do i do that? is that a terminal app?
