FAQ
How much compression is achieved?
Results depend on the PDF's metadata and structure. Office-converted PDFs (Word, PowerPoint) often compress the most; image-heavy or already-optimized PDFs may see minimal reduction.
Does compression affect quality?
Image quality is unchanged. The tool optimizes PDF structure and removes metadata — no image re-encoding occurs.
Can I compress password-protected PDFs?
No, the password must be removed first.
