Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I reduce my PDF file size?

Depending on the amount of embedded photography and scanner DPI, files can typically be reduced by 40% to 85% of their original size while maintaining excellent text readability.

Why did my text-only PDF barely shrink?

Vector text and fonts in PDFs are already mathematically compressed. Compression primarily optimizes high-resolution photos and embedded scanner bitmaps.

Do you offer target compression presets like 100KB or 200KB?

Yes! Check out our specialized Compress PDF to 100KB and Compress PDF to 200KB tools designed specifically for government exam portal specifications.

Are my private tax forms or bank statements secure?

Yes, your files never leave your computer or phone. All compression is performed entirely in your browser memory.
