Frequently Asked Questions

Which compression mode should I use?+

Structural mode suits text-heavy documents, Condense targets embedded images, and Photon (raster) mode works best for scanned documents where pages are essentially images.

Will compression make text blurry or hard to read?+

Text-based compression modes don't rerender text, so it stays sharp; raster-based compression of scanned pages involves a quality/size tradeoff you can control.

How much smaller can I expect my PDF to get?+

It varies by content, but image-heavy and scanned PDFs often see the largest reductions, sometimes 50% or more.
