Frequently asked questions
Can every PDF be compressed to 5 MB?
No. A long or image-heavy PDF may need more space to stay readable.
How do I compress a PDF toward 5 MB?
Choose your PDF and press Process PDFs. The 5 MB target is already selected.
What affects the compressed PDF size?
Image resolution, colour, fonts, page count, and existing compression affect the result.
Will compression reduce image quality?
It can. Check the downloaded PDF before submitting it.
Will my file be stored?
No. Compression processes it in memory and returns the result directly.
