Frequently asked questions
How much smaller will my PDF get?
It depends on the content. Scans and photo-heavy PDFs shrink a lot. A text-only PDF was small already, so it shrinks a little.
Will the text stay sharp?
Yes. Text and vector shapes stay exact. Only images are compressed, down to the resolution the page needs.
Which compression level should I pick?
Balanced suits almost every case. Light keeps the best quality. Strong makes the smallest file.
