1. Why Mobile Scans Get Huge
Phone cameras shoot 50-megapixel photos. Uncompressed, each page can take 8MB. Compressing scales the canvas down to ISO A4 dimensions (1654x2338 at 200 DPI).
2. Select Compression Level
Choose between Standard (optimal balance of file size and visual fidelity) and High Compression for documents with text only.
3. Export Email-Ready PDF
The file is saved instantly in your local storage without cloud processing delays.
