Frequently Asked Questions

Will the quality of my PDF decrease?

It depends on the compression level. "Recommended" mode balances quality and size perfectly for screens. "Extreme" mode reduces quality noticeably but gives the smallest file size.

Is there a file size limit?

Since processing happens on your device, you can compress files as large as your device memory allows (usually up to 100MB+ smoothly).
