Compression results vary by content type. Light compression typically reduces size by 20%, medium by 40%, and strong by up to 60%. Image-heavy PDFs compress more than text-only documents.

Will compression affect PDF quality?

Our smart compression algorithms are designed to maintain visual quality while reducing file size. Light compression preserves maximum quality, while stronger levels provide smaller files with minimal quality loss.
