When images are submitted, they are compressed to take up less space. Because everyone's image needs are different, GoCanvas has three compression settings to fit your needs. 

Compression Settings

Optimizing image handling in your GoCanvas forms can improve data sync speeds, reduce storage costs, and deliver a smoother user experience for your team in the field.

Every form is defaulted to Normal Image Compression, which can be adjusted on a form-by-form basis.

1. Navigate to the Forms page from the left navigation.
2. Select the hyperlinked name of your form or the settings gear associated with the form.

3. Under Settings, select the Settings button associated with Compression.

   

4. Select the level of compression you would like.

   

5. Save.

All submissions going forward will have the new compression settings.

Image Compression Settings

The drop down menu Image Quality has three different quality levels to choose from. Reducing the quality will also reduce the file size.

Underneath Image Quality, the two greyed out boxes indicate the Compression Quality and Compression Height/Width Dimension and these numbers will adjust to reflect the Image Quality chosen in the drop down. 

If a user adds an image that has a larger dimension than the specified max, the image will be scaled down proportionally to match the greater of the two dimensions specified.

There are three different compression settings:

Additional Considerations

• Settings must be adjusted per form;
• Image compression changes will only impact future submissions, not previous collected data;
• Test a submission after each change to confirm that image quality meets compliance or audit requirements;
• Leverage GoCanvas support for questions on advanced compression or integration with custom workflows.
