2 to 7x lighter, where it counts A scan, a screenshot, a scanned PDF or a web page carries a lot your AI pays to read but never uses: pixels, layout, markup. Converted to text, the same content can run roughly 2 to 7x lighter on tokens, and the model reads what matters. YouTube links come in as clean transcripts, ready to summarize or search. The gain is largest on visual and web content; exact figures vary with each file. One clean, consistent output Already-structured files get a different win: Sygal standardizes them into the same clean Markdown and JSON as everything else. One predictable output for your whole pipeline, ready to parse, search and reuse, with no format-by-format handling.
