Frequently Asked Questions
Will my PDF's text still be selectable after compressing?
No — this tool works by converting each page into a compressed image, so text will no longer be selectable or searchable in the output. If you need to keep selectable text, this tool isn't the right choice.
How much smaller will my file get?
It depends on the original content and compression level chosen — PDFs with lots of images or complex graphics typically shrink the most.
What's the difference between the compression levels?
Low gives the smallest file size with more visible quality loss; High keeps more visual quality but reduces file size less. Medium balances the two.
Why isn't my file getting smaller?
Some PDFs (especially ones that are mostly plain text already) may not shrink much, or could even grow slightly, since rasterizing simple content isn't always more efficient than the original.
