Frequently asked questions
How much can I reduce a PDF file size?
PDFs with images typically shrink 40–70%. Text-only PDFs may reduce by 10–30%. The exact reduction depends on the original content and how efficiently it was already compressed.
Why is my PDF so large in the first place?
Large PDFs usually contain high-resolution images or were exported with uncompressed settings. Reducing the PDF resamples images to screen-resolution quality, which is sufficient for sharing digitally.
Is there a file size limit for reduction?
Files up to 50 MB can be uploaded. If your PDF is larger, try splitting it into chapters and reducing each part separately.
Will reducing the PDF make it look blurry?
Text remains sharp as it is vector-based. Images are resampled to 150 dpi, which is fine for screens and email but may look soft if printed at large sizes.
