Frequently Asked Questions

How much can PDF compression reduce file size?

Compression savings vary by content — PDFs with many high-resolution photos can be reduced by 50–80%, while text-heavy PDFs with few images may see more modest reductions of 10–30%.

Will compression make text or images blurry?

The tool offers multiple compression levels. The 'balanced' setting reduces size significantly while keeping text sharp and images visually acceptable. The 'maximum' setting achieves the smallest file size but may reduce image quality.

Is there a file size limit?

The compressor handles PDFs up to 100 MB. For very large files, the processing may take a few seconds longer as everything runs locally in your browser.
