We tested image optimization on a few listings — the results surprised me.

Hey Indie Hackers 👋

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been paying more attention to how images affect engagement — especially on listings and product pages.

We ran a small internal test:
Same content, same context — only the image quality was improved (lighting, clarity, sharpness).

What surprised me wasn’t just clicks — it was trust.
People seemed more confident that the work was “done right” when images looked clearer and more professional.

No fancy growth hack here — just better visuals.

Now I’m curious:

• Have you ever tested improving image quality without changing anything else?

• Did it affect engagement or conversions for you?

Would love to hear real experiences from others here 👀
