FAQ
Which compression level should I choose?
Balanced is a good default. Smallest file creates stronger compression, while high quality and maximum quality preserve more visual detail.
Will every PDF become smaller?
No. Scanned or image-heavy PDFs usually shrink the most. Already optimized or text-only PDFs may not shrink and can sometimes become slightly larger.
Are uploaded PDFs stored permanently?
No. Uploaded and compressed PDFs are temporary and are cleaned up automatically.
