Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I reduce my PDF size?

Depending on the content and chosen compression level, you can typically reduce PDF size by 30-80%. PDFs with many images will compress more than text-only documents.

Will compression affect document quality?

Higher compression levels may affect image quality in the document. Text usually remains clear at all levels.

Is my PDF file secure?

Yes, your file is processed in your browser and is not uploaded to our servers.

What is the maximum file size?

You can upload PDF files up to 10MB in size. For larger files, try splitting them first using our Split PDF tool.

What if compression doesn't reduce my file size?

Some PDFs are already optimized or contain mostly text, which may not compress further. Try the high compression setting for maximum reduction.
