 FAQ

How does PDF compression work?

PDF compression works by removing redundant data, optimizing images, and using efficient encoding techniques to reduce file size without significantly affecting the document's quality or content.
Will compressing a PDF affect its quality?

The impact on quality depends on the compression method used. Lossless compression doesn't affect quality, while lossy compression may slightly reduce image quality to achieve smaller file sizes.
Can I compress multiple PDFs at once?

Yes, our PDF Compressor supports batch processing, allowing you to compress multiple PDF files simultaneously.
How much can I reduce my PDF file size?

The reduction in file size varies depending on the original PDF's content and the chosen compression level. Typically, you can expect a reduction of 20% to 80%.
Can I compress password-protected PDFs?

Most online PDF compressors, including ours, cannot process password-protected PDFs due to security restrictions. You'll need to remove the password before compression.
