Image Workflow explains the practical choices that affect image-heavy documents, PDF packets, screenshots, scans, and visual attachments. The guides focus on basics that often cause file problems: pixel dimensions, file size, image format, cropping, rotation, and how images behave once they are added to a PDF. This section does not present NexKit as a dedicated image-tool product. Instead, it helps readers prepare images for document workflows that may later involve PDF merging, compression, upload forms, or client delivery. It is useful when photos are too large, screenshots include too much, scans need better consistency, or a PDF becomes heavy after images are added. Use this hub to choose the right image preparation step before the final file is exported or shared.
