Medium compression gets it to 300–800KB — small enough for any email or portal upload. **Scanned document from phone camera:** Apps like CamScanner or Notes (iPhone) export as PDF. These can be large (5–20MB per page). High compression brings most single-page scans to under 200KB. **PDF received in WhatsApp:** Save to Files first, then compress and re-share. No app download, no account, no storage used on your phone beyond the final compressed file.
