Everything you need to know about safety, formats, and conversion limits.
PDF compression scans the document's structure to optimize and shrink embedded resources. It downsamples high-resolution images, compresses text streams into binary formats, and removes unused metadata parameters.
No noticeable quality is lost when using the Medium or Low profiles. The High compression profile downsamples images to a greater degree, which is perfect for documents where text clarity is key and small file sizes are preferred.
We support processing PDF documents up to 20MB, ensuring that even large, multi-page slide decks, ebooks, and academic research papers can be easily optimized.
