Frequently Asked Questions

How much can the file size be reduced?

Results vary depending on content. Image-heavy PDFs can be reduced by 50-80%. Text-heavy PDFs may see smaller reductions since text is already compact.

Will compression affect text quality?

The compression works by re-rendering pages as optimized images. For best text quality, use "Low" compression. For maximum file size reduction, use "High".
