+## Use Compressed Images in Lists
+
+Always load compressed, appropriately-sized images in lists. Full-resolution
+images consume excessive memory and cause scroll jank. Request thumbnails from
+your server or use an image CDN with resize parameters.
+
+**Incorrect (full-resolution images):**
+
+```tsx
+function ProductItem({ product }: { product: Product }) {
+  return (
+    <View>
+      {/* 4000x3000 image loaded for a 100x100 thumbnail */}
+      <Image
+        source={{ uri: product.imageUrl }}
+        style={{ width: 100, height: 100 }}
+      />
+      <Text>{product.name}</Text>
+    </View>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (request appropriately-sized image):**
+
+```tsx
+function ProductItem({ product }: { product: Product }) {
+  // Request a 200x200 image (2x for retina)
+  const thumbnailUrl = `${product.imageUrl}?w=200&h=200&fit=cover`
+
+  return (
+    <View>
+      <Image
+        source={{ uri: thumbnailUrl }}
+        style={{ width: 100, height: 100 }}
+        contentFit='cover'
+      />
+      <Text>{product.name}</Text>
+    </View>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+Use an optimized image component with built-in caching and placeholder support,
+such as `expo-image` or `SolitoImage` (which uses `expo-image` under the hood).
+Request images at 2x the display size for retina screens.
