Frequently asked questions
How much can I compress a PDF?
Typical PDFs shrink 40–80%. Image-heavy PDFs compress the most; text-only PDFs are already small and compress less.
Will compression lower text quality?
No. Text stays vector-sharp. Only embedded images are re-encoded, and we tune quality to keep them clean.
Can I compress a PDF under 100KB or 1MB?
For strict targets like 100KB (common for government portals), start with fewer pages and lower image quality. Read the guide 'How to Compress a PDF Under 100KB' for step-by-step tips.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Compression happens 100% in your browser — the PDF never leaves your device.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit. Browsers can typically handle 200MB+ PDFs; performance depends on your device.
