Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about compressing PDF files.
What does PDF compression do?
PDF compression optimizes document structure, downsamples high-resolution embedded images to appropriate DPI levels, and strips unneeded metadata to significantly reduce total file weight.
Will compressing a PDF reduce text quality?
No. Vector text, digital fonts, and line drawings remain crisp and sharp. Compression focuses on optimizing heavy scanned graphics and photographs.
Which compression level should I choose?
We recommend Balanced for general documents and school notes. Choose Basic if you are preparing documents for fine print, or Extreme if you have strict file size limits.
Are my files secure?
100% secure. All processing takes place locally inside your web browser. Your private documents are never uploaded to any remote server.
