Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about compressing PDFs.
How much can I reduce my PDF file size?
Typically 40–90% depending on the content. PDFs with many images compress the most. Text-only PDFs compress less but still see a meaningful reduction.
Will compression reduce the quality of my PDF?
On Medium and High settings, the quality difference is barely noticeable. Low setting may slightly reduce image sharpness but dramatically reduces file size.
Is it safe to compress sensitive documents?
Yes. All uploads are HTTPS encrypted. Files are automatically and permanently deleted 60 minutes after upload. We never read your documents.
What is the maximum file size I can compress?
Free users can compress PDFs up to 50MB. This covers the vast majority of documents including reports, presentations and forms.
