For bigger or image-heavy PDFs
A 1MB target is ideal when 100–500KB would strip too much detail — for example, scanned booklets, portfolios or reports full of images that still need to look good.
Honest final size
We compress toward 1MB, never enlarge the file beyond the original, and show the actual final size after processing.
