Allow pdf and image conversions to low resolution and smaller size files

[kalyanmulampaka]

Problem Statement

Many official websites (like passport.gov etc) limit the size of pdf and image files when uploaded to their website. Users cannot upload the pdf or image file greater than the file size limit and have to convert the pdf or image to a lower size.

Proposed Solution

1. Allow transmute to convert pdf to pdf file with smaller file size
2. Allow transmute to convert image to image file (same format) with smaller file size

Alternatives Considered

Hey @kalyanmulampaka thanks for submitting this issue - this relates to a broader feature set I have been considering for general "compression" through Transmute, likely through a seperate tab / flow than the conversion page. It would include images, pdfs, videos, audio, etc. without the change in file format.

This is a horizontal expansion of the feature set (more features rather than improving existing features) so I had previously paused on it while I worked to make the existing features more reliable / robust.

I will take a look and see when I could get this implemented!
