Compression Options Explained

Recommended Compression

The perfect balance between quality and size reduction. This option automatically reduces the file size while maintaining optimal quality, making it ideal for most users. It preserves document format, color accuracy, and font clarity while achieving significant size reduction.

Extreme Compression

Maximum file size reduction when size matters most. This option aggressively reduces file size for situations where getting under a specific size limit is critical. While it achieves the smallest possible file size, it may affect content quality, resulting in slightly reduced image clarity or color accuracy.

Less Compression

Minimal compression for quality-critical documents. When maintaining the highest possible visual quality is essential, this option applies only light optimization. It provides modest size reduction while ensuring that document appearance remains virtually identical to the original.
