##### **Image Dimensions for WebGL runtimes**

For WebGL runtimes, image memory is allocated in powers of two. A 512×512 image fits efficiently, but a 513×513 image will use the memory of a 1024×1024 texture—quadrupling the memory usage for just one extra pixel per side.

#### Raster Image Compression

Compression involves reducing the file size by employing various algorithms to discard some image data. You can compress images directly from the Rive editor, which means you maintain the original image but compress the images for runtime use. If the asset is embedded in the animation, this will reduce the file size of the exported riv.
