How much can I compress a PDF file?

Compression savings depend on the content. Image-heavy PDFs can be reduced by 60-80%, while text-only documents may see 20-40% reduction. Use our Low, Medium, or High levels to find the right balance.

Will compression affect my PDF quality?

Low compression preserves image quality with minimal size reduction. Medium offers a balanced trade-off. High compression maximizes size reduction while maintaining text and layout integrity. Your document structure is always preserved.

What compression levels are available?

Three levels: Low (best quality, least compression), Medium (balanced), and High (maximum compression). Choose based on whether you need smaller file size or highest visual quality.

Is it safe to compress PDFs online?

Yes. All processing is done locally in your browser using Canvas-based re-rendering. Your file never leaves your device, making it completely private and secure.
