Compress PDF — frequently asked questions

How do I compress a PDF to 100 KB?

Choose the Extreme compression level, which downsamples images most aggressively. Whether 100 KB is reachable depends on the document: image-heavy scans shrink dramatically, while a long PDF with many pages may not fit under 100 KB without splitting it first. Mostly-text PDFs are often already close to their minimum size.

Does compressing a PDF reduce its quality?

Text and vector graphics stay sharp at every level — they are optimised losslessly. Photos and scans are downsampled depending on the level you pick: Less keeps them close to the original, Recommended balances size and quality, and Extreme trades visible image quality for the smallest file.

How much smaller will my PDF get?

It depends on what's inside. PDFs full of high-resolution photos or scans usually shrink the most, while files that were already optimised — or that contain mostly text — change less. After each run the result screen shows the exact before-and-after size.

Is it safe to compress confidential documents online?

Your file is transferred over an encrypted connection, processed automatically, and deleted from our servers within about 1 hour — or immediately if you delete it yourself from the result screen. Nothing is retained or reused.

What's the maximum file size I can compress?

50 MB per file.

Why is my PDF so large in the first place?

The usual culprits are scans saved at very high resolution, embedded fonts, and duplicated images or resources accumulated through editing. Compression targets exactly these — downsampling oversized images and cleaning up redundant structure.
