FAQ
Will anyone notice the compression?▾
At 75% image quality, the visual difference from the original is minimal — most people won't notice any change. Text remains identical, and images retain their clarity. This is an excellent choice when you need to reduce file size without any visible quality loss.
When should I use 2MB vs a smaller target?▾
Use 2MB when image quality is important — for example, client-facing presentations, design portfolios, or documents with photographs. Choose a smaller target (500KB or 1MB) when you're prioritizing file size over visual quality, such as for email attachments or web uploads.
Can I print the compressed PDF?▾
Yes. At 150 DPI, the compressed PDF will print well on standard office printers. For large-format printing or professional print jobs requiring 300 DPI, use the High Quality compression preset instead.
