Common questions

How do I compress a PDF to under 200 KB?

Choose Target size, type 200 and press Compress PDF. The tool tries stronger settings until the file fits.

Does compression reduce quality?

Medium and Strong turn pages into compressed images, so text is slightly softer and can no longer be selected. Light keeps the text but saves less.

Why did my PDF not get smaller?

Some PDFs are already well optimized. Try the Strong level.
