As your website is image based, SEO on an image plays a important role, I will tell you how we can do SEO on an image that helps to rank our website by taking less storage

Image SEO - It refers to the optimization of images on a website to make the page more appealing to search engine crawlers. It provides additional information about a image to search engines, which helps them understand the content and can lead to a boost in search rankings and visibility. It also can lead to an image appearing in Google’s image search.

Alt Tags - Search engine cant process the image like human brain. so add alt tags to accurately determine what is shown in the image.

Choose right format of the image.

Add some body content for the image, because it helps to improve your rankings in search engine.

Compress your images with good quality, it helps your website to load faster.

Have a share option for the users it helps to reach you wider & Beware of copyrights too.

Having your images in a sitemap greatly increases the chances of search engines crawling and indexing your images. Thus, it results in more site traffic.

Customize image file names, it should be descriptive and keyword rich.
