File compression involves balancing file size reduction with quality preservation. The right settings depend on how you plan to use the compressed file and the specific requirements of your application.
For images viewed on screens or shared via email, a slightly lower quality setting is usually sufficient. For documents that need to be printed clearly, maintain higher quality while reducing dimensions only when necessary.
PDF compression works differently by re-rendering each page at a reduced resolution. This is particularly effective for scanned documents, exam forms, and paperwork primarily viewed online.
Lower quality (60-70%) and reduced dimensions (800-1000px) for faster sending and smaller mailbox usage.
Higher quality (80-90%) with original dimensions to maintain clarity for physical printing.
Moderate compression (70-80%) for efficient storage and faster mobile device loading.
