What this compression does
Each page is rendered as an image and rebuilt into a lighter PDF.
This is often effective for scan-heavy PDFs, photo-heavy exports, and bulky print-style documents.
It may reduce text selectability or searchability because the output becomes image-based.

Why people come back
Upload limits and email attachment caps keep making this problem come back.
Preset-based compression is faster than guessing export settings in desktop software.
Everything stays local, which matters for contracts, invoices, IDs, and internal documents.
