Frequently Asked Questions
How much will my PDF be reduced?
Typically 50–90% depending on content. PDFs with high-resolution images compress the most (80–90%), while text-heavy documents compress less (40–60%).
Will compression affect text readability?
No. Text remains crisp because compression primarily targets embedded images and unnecessary metadata. The document stays professional and print-ready.
Can I compress password-protected PDFs?
Our tool works best with standard PDFs. Remove password protection first (if permitted), then compress, and re-secure if needed.
Are my PDFs stored on your servers?
Never. All processing happens in real-time and files are deleted immediately after your download. Your documents remain completely private.
Is the compressor completely free?
Yes — 100% free with no account, no subscription, and no usage limits. Compress as many PDFs as you need.
