Understanding PDF Compression

How PDF Compression Works

PDF compression uses sophisticated algorithms to reduce file size by optimizing images, removing redundant data, and compressing text streams. Our tool employs multiple techniques simultaneously for maximum efficiency.

  • Image downsampling and recompression
  • Font subsetting and optimization
  • Object stream compression
  • Metadata and structure optimization

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to compress my sensitive PDF documents here?

Yes, it is completely safe. The entire compression process happens in your browser. Your files are never sent to our servers, so you maintain full control over your data.

How much smaller will my PDF be?

The final size depends on the original content of your PDF and the compression level you choose. PDFs with many images will see the most significant reduction. Our tool provides a real-time estimate of the compressed size.

Will compressing my PDF reduce its quality?

Our tool aims to reduce file size with the least possible impact on quality. While strong compression might slightly lower the quality of embedded images, text and vector graphics will remain sharp and readable.

Can I compress encrypted or password-protected PDFs?

No, you will need to remove the password protection from your PDF before you can compress it with our tool.
