The Science of Small PDFs

How do we make a file smaller without making it look bad? It comes down to three things: Metadata removal, Image downsampling, and Stream compression.

What is Lossless Compression?

Lossless compression identifies and removes redundant data that isn't needed to display the file. This is perfect for text-heavy documents like contracts.

When to Use High-Quality Mode

Our "Low Compression / High Quality" setting in the Compress PDF tool focus on metadata and stream optimization. It's ideal for portfolios where image clarity is non-negotiable.
