Questions & Answers

Frequently asked questions concerning our online Compress PDF compiler

Q.What is the difference between recommended and extreme compression?

Recommended compression balances optimal file size reduction with excellent visual quality. Extreme compression reduces the file size as much as possible by lowering image resolution, which might make high-res pictures look slightly pixelated but is great for text-heavy documents.

Q.Is PDF compression free?

Yes, you can compress as many documents as you want without any hidden charges or watermarks.
