Frequently Asked Questions
What is PDF Compressor and how does it work?
PDF Compressor is a free online tool that reduces PDF file sizes by optimizing images, removing unnecessary metadata, and compressing content streams while maintaining document quality. It uses advanced algorithms to achieve maximum compression without affecting text searchability or document integrity.
Is the PDF Compressor free to use?
Yes, our PDF Compressor is completely free with no hidden charges, registration requirements, or watermarks added to your compressed PDFs. You can compress unlimited files without any restrictions or time limits.
Are my PDF files safe and secure during compression?
Absolutely. All PDF processing happens locally in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your files are never uploaded to our servers, ensuring complete privacy and security. Your documents remain confidential and are automatically deleted from browser memory after processing.
What compression levels are available?
We offer three compression levels: Low (10-30% reduction, best quality), Medium (30-60% reduction, balanced), and High (60-80% reduction, maximum compression). You can also set custom target file sizes for specific requirements like email attachments or web uploads.
Can I compress multiple PDF files at once?
Yes, our tool supports batch processing. You can select multiple PDF files and compress them all using the same settings simultaneously. This feature is perfect for processing document collections or preparing multiple files for email distribution.
Will compression affect text quality and searchability?
No, our compression algorithm preserves text elements and OCR data, ensuring your PDF remains fully searchable and text remains selectable after compression. Only images and redundant data are optimized, never the actual text content or document structure.
What are the maximum file sizes supported?
Our tool can handle PDF files up to 100MB in size per file. For larger files, we recommend splitting them into smaller documents first. The compression process is optimized for typical document sizes ranging from 1MB to 50MB for best performance.
Can I download compressed files individually or in bulk?
You can download compressed files both individually and in bulk. Each file has its own download button, or you can use the "Download All" feature to get all compressed files in a single ZIP archive for convenient distribution.
