Frequently Asked Questions

Is PDF compression really free? â–ŧ

Absolutely! No credit card, no trial, no watermark. Compress unlimited PDFs for free forever.

How does local compression work? â–ŧ

We use a WebAssembly-based PDF engine (Syncfusion Flutter PDF) that runs inside your browser. Your file is read locally, processed in memory, and you save the result — never uploaded.

What's the maximum file size? â–ŧ

Individual PDFs up to 50MB. For batch processing, total size depends on your device memory (typically 200MB+).

Will my images or fonts be broken? â–ŧ

No. Our compression optimizes images (downsampling/JPEG quality) and compresses streams without breaking layout or fonts.

Can I compress password-protected PDFs? â–ŧ

Only if you have the password and unlock it first. Locked PDFs cannot be processed due to encryption.

Does batch compression preserve original order? â–ŧ

Yes. You can download compressed files individually or as a single ZIP with original filenames.

What is metadata removal? â–ŧ

PDFs often store hidden metadata: author name, software used (e.g., Adobe Acrobat), creation date, and edit history. Removing it reduces file size and improves privacy.

Is this tool compatible with scanned PDFs? â–ŧ

Yes. Scanned PDFs (image-based) are compressed by optimizing the embedded images. Use "Maximum" for best results on scanned documents.

📌
Pro Tip: For email attachments, select "High" compression. For archiving old invoices, "Maximum" works great. Always preview estimated savings before finalizing. Click below to access the full-featured PDF compressor.
