Frequently asked questions

How much smaller will it get?
It depends on the content. Image-heavy PDFs (e.g. scans) shrink a lot, while text-based PDFs are already small so the reduction is modest.
Can I hit a size limit like e-Tax or email attachments?
Yes. You can see the resulting size for each level, so it's easy to fit limits such as 3 MB.
Can I compress multiple PDFs at once?
Yes. Select or drop multiple files to enter batch mode and download the results as a single ZIP. Files that cannot be processed (e.g. password-protected PDFs) are skipped with a reason shown.
