Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this tool.

How does PDF compression actually work?

Our tool optimizes the internal structure of the PDF by downsampling large images, removing unnecessary metadata, and streamlining embedded fonts, which drastically reduces the total file size.

Will the text in my PDF become blurry?

No, text remains crisp and perfectly readable. The compression primarily targets overly large images and hidden metadata that bloats the file size.
