Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make a PDF file smaller?
Upload the PDF, adjust the image quality, click Compress PDF, then download the result. Images inside the PDF are re-encoded so the file shrinks.
Does the text stay intact?
Yes. Text, tables, and layout are not changed — only images inside the PDF are re-encoded.
How much can a PDF be reduced?
It depends on the file. PDFs with many photos usually shrink 50–90%. Lower the quality or resolution if the result is still too large.
Can I compress a PDF to 200 KB?
For most documents, yes. Lower the image quality and resolution, then check the result size. Very large or multi-page files may stay above 200 KB.
Is my PDF file safe?
Yes. Files are never uploaded — all processing happens in your browser.
When Should You Compress a PDF?
Email attachments
Many email services limit attachment size. A lightweight PDF is delivered faster.
Document uploads
Application and registration sites often limit file size. Compress first so it passes.
Save storage
Smaller PDFs use less storage and data when shared.
