Compress PDF

Reduce PDF file size while maintaining quality

Compression Limitations:

Image-heavy PDFs compress best (photos, scanned documents)
Text-only PDFs have minimal compression potential (already optimized)
Already-compressed PDFs may show little to no size reduction
Vector graphics & charts cannot be significantly compressed
Lower quality settings provide more compression but may affect image clarity

Tip: For maximum compression, use "Low" quality preset. For best results, try compressing PDFs with high-resolution images.

Lower quality = more compression. PDFs with images compress better than text-only documents.

Q: Why isn't my PDF compressing much?

A: Text-only PDFs and already-compressed PDFs have limited compression potential. Best results are with high-resolution images.

Q: Will compression affect quality?

A: Lower quality settings reduce image resolution. Use "High Quality" preset to minimize visual changes.

Q: What types of PDFs compress best?

A: PDFs with photos, scanned documents, or high-resolution images. Charts, text, and vector graphics compress minimally.
