Why Compress PDFs?
Large PDF files are a common problem. They're slow to upload, difficult to email, and take up unnecessary storage space. A good PDF compressor can reduce file size by 30-70% without noticeable quality loss.

- Speed — Nobody wants to wait minutes for compression
- Quality — Compressed files should still look great
- Privacy — Your files should remain private

When to Use Maximum Compression
Use maximum compression when file size matters more than visual quality — for example, when emailing documents or uploading to platforms with size limits. For print-quality documents, use the recommended or light compression settings.
