Frequently asked questions
- How much smaller will my PDF get?
- Scanned documents and PDFs full of photos often shrink by more than half. PDFs that are mostly typed text are usually small already and change little.
- Will my text get blurry?
- No. Typed text, lines and drawings are left exactly as they are. Only scans and photos are resized, and Recommended keeps them sharp enough to read and print.
- What if my PDF can't be made smaller?
- We'll tell you, and it won't count toward your monthly allowance.
- What happens to my files?
- Your PDF is deleted as soon as it's compressed. Your smaller PDF is available to download for 1 hour, then it's deleted too.
- Is Compress PDF free?
- You can try it free with a free account. To keep using it, add it to a paid plan, from $9 a month.
