Compression tips
Stay lightweight without adding artifacts.
- Try Medium first; drop to High or Max only when email limits demand it.
- Downscale scanned PDFs before running aggressive compression.
- Compare saved percentage after each run to find the sweet spot.
- Keep an original copy so text selection is preserved somewhere.
Faster sharing, happier inboxes
Push every document under the limit without zipping.
