How can I decrease the file size of my scans?

The Doxie app uses compression when saving your scans in JPEG or PDF format (PNG format is lossless). If your scans are bigger than you expect, here's a few tips to help save space:

• Save in B&W. Scans in black and white are substantially smaller than color scans, due to their simplicity, and because they're able to use a compression technique called CCITT G4. Use the Save as PDF with OCR (B&W) option to accomplish this.
• Adjust Image Quality. In Preferences > Images, adjust the image quality setting to produce smaller scans. You can experiment and compare saved images to find the right setting for you.
