质量滑块范围: 20–100 · 默认: 90: For JPG, WebP, AVIF and image-to-PDF output: higher keeps more detail but makes a bigger file; 60–80 suits most photos. Documents (Publisher, XPS, EPS…) become PDFs with every page and sharp text, with no quality setting.
无损模式开／关: For WebP and AVIF output: keeps every pixel exactly (best for logos, graphics and transparency) at the cost of a larger file.
背景填充取色器: For JPG, BMP and image-to-PDF output, which can’t store transparency: the colour that fills transparent areas (white by default).
