Advanced compression controls

Image resolution

Lower resolution makes scanned pages smaller; higher resolution keeps them sharper.

Image quality

Lower values shrink harder; higher values preserve photos and scans better.

Evaluate page cap

Keep colors (recommended)Convert raster pages to grayscalePreserve text pages when possibleTry stronger image rewrite

Strong profile can reduce text-select/search on rasterized pages. Turn off "Keep colors" only when you are okay with grayscale output for smaller files.

Privacy note: compression runs inside this browser session. Files stay local and the benchmark report is generated on-device.

Flow

Classify pages (text-heavy, mixed, scanned, image-heavy).
For each page, either copy original structure or rasterize with chosen profile.
Export output with a structured report including copied/rasterized page counts.

Example

Worked example: support attachment

1 Upload incident-report.pdf (12 MB).
2 Run compression in balanced mode.
3 Download optimized output and attach to ticket.

Output often becomes easier to upload or share.

How

Upload one PDF file.
Choose profile (text-safe, balanced, or strong), then keep colors on or allow grayscale for smaller output.
Run compression, then review before/after size, benchmark status (strategy, elapsed time, copied vs rasterized pages), and output report.
On mobile, start with text-safe settings or a lower page cap for large files.

Cases

Reduce upload friction for portals with file limits.
Send reports over mobile networks faster.
Shrink archival copies when practical.

Avoid

Expecting strong profile to preserve text selection/search on every page.
Skipping report review for copied vs rasterized page actions.
Ignoring mobile memory limits on very large files.
Assuming files are uploaded when this tool runs fully browser-local.
