Question 1

What document types can be compressed?

Accepted Answer

PDFs compress best, but other document types may also shrink depending on embedded images and content. Available options depend on the tool.

Question 2

Why doesn't my file get much smaller?

Accepted Answer

If a document is already optimized or mostly text, there may be limited savings. Files with large embedded images typically compress more.

Question 3

Will compression change document layout?

Accepted Answer

Compression usually preserves layout, but aggressive settings may reduce image quality inside the document.

Question 4

Can I choose a compression level?

Accepted Answer

Some tools offer presets (e.g., high/medium/low) or quality settings. Choose the lowest size that still looks good for your use case.

Question 5

Is my document kept after compression?

Accepted Answer

Your file is processed to create a smaller version and is typically deleted automatically after processing. Check the site's retention policy for details.
