Tips

  • Compression gains vary by source quality and embedded objects.
  • For scanned docs, splitting sections can improve practical sharing size.
  • Validate legibility before client delivery.
  • If quota is reached, wait for month reset or upgrade for unlimited usage.

What this does not protect

  • Compression may be minimal on already optimized files.
  • It is not a substitute for OCR cleanup on image-heavy scans.
  • It does not replace legal, compliance, or incident-response workflows.
