    How to use the Compress PDF

    1. 1

      Choose the PDF(s).

    2. 2

      Pick a level: Light for text documents, Medium or Strong for scans and photos.

    3. 3

      Press Compress and see how much was saved.

    Which level?

    Scanned documents and PDFs full of photos shrink 50–90% with Medium or Strong, because the pages are re-saved as optimised images. Text-based PDFs (exported from Word) are usually small already. Light cleans their structure without touching the text. If the result isn't smaller, we keep your original.

    With Light, yes. Medium and stronger levels turn pages into images.
