A few things to know
What should I know about the output?
Recommended targets about 150 effective DPI and JPEG quality 70 for supported embedded images; Custom adjusts these settings. Both remove document metadata and keep existing text selectable. Transparent or unusual images are retained. Strong downscales and re-encodes scans; pages containing text are rendered as images, making that text unselectable and flattening links/forms on those pages. If a result would be larger, the original is returned unchanged, including its metadata. Up to 3 files and 240 MB total, processed sequentially on your device.
