About Compress PDF

Compression may downsample images, remove unused objects, or re-encode streams. Results depend on the source file. A scanned full-color PDF usually shrinks more than a text-only file. The compress provider reports failure instead of returning the original bytes labeled as a success.

Frequently asked questions

Will quality drop?

Image-heavy PDFs may lose some visual quality. Text-heavy files often change less.
