FAQ

Will compressing a PDF make it blurry or lose quality?

It depends on the compression mode you choose. Our 'High Quality' mode uses smart algorithms to optimize file data without touching visual clarity. 'Extreme Compression' will reduce the file size to the absolute minimum, which is perfect for uploads, resumes, and emails where tiny file size is the priority.

My PDF is too large to email. How do I shrink it quickly?

Simply drag and drop your file into our tool, select your preferred compression level, and let our optimizer shrink the size in seconds. It easily solves file size limit issues on Gmail, Outlook, Slack, and corporate HR portals.

Can I see the file size comparison before downloading?

Yes, absolutely. Once the compression is complete, our dashboard will instantly display the original file size, the compressed file size, and the exact percentage of space saved so you can see the efficiency at a glance.

How can I compress a PDF to a specific size, like under 2MB?
