Frequently asked questions
How much can a PDF be compressed?
It depends on the content. Image-heavy PDFs can often be reduced by 40–70%. Text-only PDFs typically compress very little.
Will the text stay sharp?
Yes. Text and vector elements are preserved at full quality. Only raster images are re-compressed.
