# Improve Performance for PDFs with Many Small Images

To improve performance when processing PDF files that contain many small images, you can choose to ignore images unless they exceed a minimum width and/or height. If an image is smaller than the minimum width or height, KeyView does not extract the image.

For example, to ignore images that are less than 16 pixels wide or less than 16 pixels in height, add the following to the `[pdf_flags]` section of the `formats.ini` file:

    [pdf_flags]
    process_images_with_min_width=16
    process_images_with_min_height=16
