Questions about compressing PDFs
- How much smaller will my PDF get?
- It depends on the images inside. A PDF made only of text barely shrinks: in that case the app tells you and downloads nothing.
- Will the quality drop?
- Text and vector graphics never change. Images lose detail only at the Medium and Strong levels.
- Are all images compressed?
- Most are. CMYK print images, transparency masks and a few rare formats are left untouched so they don’t get damaged.
- Can I edit the PDF before compressing it?
- Yes. Your edits, signatures and page changes are applied first, then the file is compressed.
- Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
- No. The file is read by your browser and stays in the page’s memory. The new file is created on your device too.
