FAQ

Common Questions

Answers to your common questions about PDF compression algorithms, quality, and data security.

How does the tool shrink my PDF?
It optimizes font files, downsamples embedded images to screen-friendly resolutions (e.g. 150 DPI), and strips structural metadata.
Will my text lose its sharpness after compression?
No, because the text in a PDF is represented as vector curves, it can be scaled infinitely without any degradation, remaining perfectly sharp.
Can I compress encrypted or locked PDFs?
You must unlock or input the password of protected PDFs first before our optimization engine can access and modify internal elements.
Are my uploaded documents stored on your server?
Absolutely not. We process files client-side using JavaScript. The data stays in your browser memory and disappears when the tab is closed.
What is the recommended compression level?
The "Recommended Balance" setting is best for general documents, yielding significant size reductions (up to 80%) with minimal image quality loss.
