Compress PDF questions
How much smaller will my PDF get?
It depends on the content. Scanned and photo-heavy PDFs can shrink by up to 94%; text-only PDFs shrink less because they are already small.
Will the text become blurry?
No. Text and drawings are left untouched; only images are recompressed.
Can I compress many PDFs at once?
Yes. Add a folder and every PDF in it is compressed in one run.
