Frequently Asked Questions

How much smaller will my PDF be?

Results vary depending on content. PDFs with large embedded images typically see 30-70% reduction. Documents that are already optimized may see 5-15% reduction.

Will compression reduce the quality?

The compressor removes unnecessary metadata, duplicate objects, and unused elements. Text and vector graphics remain unchanged. Visual quality is preserved.

Is there a file size limit?

No hard limit. Compression runs in your browser, so larger files work fine — they just take a bit longer. No files are uploaded to any server.

Is this tool free?

Yes, completely free with no restrictions. For document creation, e-signatures, and AI-powered tools, Writ (QuikDB) offers a lifetime plan at $29.99.
