Frequently Asked Questions

When is downsampling better than generic compression?
It is better when images are the main cause of file size and you want more targeted control over resolution.

For screen viewing and many office workflows, yes. The right target resolution keeps the file readable while cutting excess image weight.
What is the main use case?
Upload portals, email attachments, collaboration tools, and archive systems all benefit from smaller image-heavy PDFs.
