Frequently asked questions
How much can I reduce the size of my PDF?
It depends on the file, but image-heavy PDFs often shrink by 50 to 80 percent. Documents that are mostly text typically compress less because they are already small.
Will compressing my PDF reduce the quality?
Text stays sharp at every quality level, and only images are recompressed. Higher compression makes images softer, so you can pick the level that fits your needs.
Is it safe to compress PDF files here?
Yes. Files are processed securely on our servers over an encrypted connection and deleted automatically right after processing.
Is there a file size limit?
You can compress most everyday PDFs without issue. Very large files may take a little longer to process.
Do I need to install anything to compress a PDF?
No. The tool runs online in any browser, so there is nothing to install or sign up for.
