Frequently Asked Questions

How much smaller will my PDF actually get?
It depends on the content. Image-heavy PDFs (scans, photo reports) can shrink by up to 80%, while text-only documents usually see a more modest 10–30% reduction since there's less to optimize.
Will my PDF look blurry after compressing?
Only if you choose "Extreme," which trades some image sharpness for the smallest possible file. "Recommended" is built to keep text crisp and images clear while still cutting the file down significantly.
Is there a file size limit for compression?
압축은 사용자의 장치에서 실행되므로 실질적인 한계는 고정된 용량이 아닌 사용 가능한 RAM입니다. 대부분의 노트북과 휴대폰은 최대 100MB의 파일을 편안하게 처리합니다.
압축 수준의 차이점은 무엇입니까?
"Less" applies lossless, structure-only compression with no visible quality change. "Recommended" balances size and quality for everyday sharing. "Extreme" prioritizes the smallest file, which can slightly soften high-resolution images.
이미 한 번 압축한 PDF를 압축할 수 있나요?
예, 두 번째부터는 이득이 더 작아지겠지만 이미지와 스트림이 이미 최적화되면 제거해야 할 중복 데이터가 줄어듭니다.
