This is the perfect solution for optimizing large reports, portfolios, or presentations before sharing them online.
Frequently Asked Questions About PDF Compression
No. Our tool is optimized to maintain the highest possible quality. For most documents, the visual difference will be negligible, but the file size reduction will be significant. We prioritize keeping text perfectly sharp.
The percentage of reduction depends on the original content. PDFs with many large, unoptimized images can often be compressed by up to 70-90%. Text-heavy documents will see a more moderate, but still valuable, reduction.
Yes, absolutely. This is the most secure way to do it. Since your invoice or resume is processed locally in your browser and is never uploaded, there is zero risk of your personal data being compromised on a server.
If the file is still too large after maximum compression, it likely contains very high-resolution images. For these cases, you can use our Split PDF tool to divide the document into smaller parts that can be sent in separate emails.
