Recommended Target Settings by Use Case
Web & Email Delivery
Target: under 1MB. Ideal for email attachments and fast downloads. While Gmail allows 25MB and Outlook allows 20MB, keeping files under 1MB guarantees instant opening on mobile connections.
Government Portals

Print Archive
Target: under 5MB to 10MB. Retains 300 DPI print-grade clarity for critical certificates and high-detail charts. Removes metadata and redundant image objects without compromising quality.
