Frequently Asked Questions

Will face features be recognizable?

Yes at High setting. The compression algorithm preserves face structure while reducing background detail.

Should I use JPEG instead of PDF?

Some portals accept JPEG only. Use /pdf-to-jpg first, then upload the image. For PDF-only portals, this compression workflow keeps the format.

Are dimensions affected?

No — compression reduces file size, not page dimensions. The photo dimensions (3.5cm × 4.5cm) are preserved.
