Option Name Description
allow_multiple_outputs
Type: boolean
Default: False
If the operation produces more than one output file, by default all of them are compressed in just one file. Set this option to true if you want a download link for each file.
allow_multiple_outputs_threshold
Type: integer
Minimum: 2
Maximum: 400
Sets the threshold for the number of output files during conversion. This option is considered only when `allow_multiple_outputs` is set to true. If the generated output files exceed this threshold, they are compressed into one file. Conversely, if the threshold is not met, each output file remains uncompressed.
compression_level
Type: string
Enum: low medium high best
If set, this option tries to compress your file with no perceivable loss of quality
compression_target
Type: string
Enum: gif jpg png
Sets the target format if it's different from the input's file format
