Frequently asked questions

How much smaller will my PDF get?

It depends on the file. Text-heavy PDFs with redundant objects compress well; image-heavy PDFs see smaller gains.

Is the compression lossless?

Yes. We re-pack the PDF without re-encoding images, so visual quality is unchanged.

Is the first use really free?

Yes. Every visitor gets one free document per tool. Signed-in accounts also get one free document, then each use costs credits.
