Frequently asked questions
Will compression reduce quality?
Higher compression lowers image quality. 'Balanced' keeps documents readable while significantly reducing size.
Can you hit an exact target size?
We show an estimate before you run it and the real size afterwards. There is no exact target-size mode.
