Technical Details

PDF Compression locates embedded graphic structures (Image Dictionary objects) within your file stream and applies mathematical downsampling. By plotting image matrices to an offscreen virtual canvas, we adjust resolutions to web-standard 150 DPI and apply FlateDecode/JPEG compression schemas to substantially reduce document size while preserving crisp vector text rendering.

Reduction RateUp to 85% reduction
Resampling standardBicubic 150 DPI
Vector Text PreservationFully retained (crisp fonts)
Image EncoderNative WebP / Progressive JPEG

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Will my text look blurry after PDF compression?

A: No, our downsampler only targets embedded bitmap photos. All vector texts, mathematical curves, and fonts remain 100% crisp.

Q: Why is local compression faster than cloud tools?

A: Local compression does not spend bandwidth uploading heavy files. Processing starts immediately in your device RAM.

Q: What are the compression modes offered?

A: We offer Extreme, Medium, and Low compression. Extreme offers maximum size savings, while Low preserves maximum image quality.

Q: Can I compress files that have already been compressed?

A: You can, but the further file size reduction will be minimal since the embedded images have already been optimized.
