How This PDF Compressor Guarantees Size Reduction
Unlike other tools that try to modify a PDF's internal structure—a process that can often fail—our compressor uses a foolproof method. We treat each page of your document as a picture. We render it, compress it as an optimized JPEG image, and then build a brand new, lightweight PDF from these images.
The Trade-Off: An Image-Based PDF
The significant advantage of this method is its reliability. It will always produce a smaller file. The trade-off is that the resulting PDF is "flattened." This means all text, vector graphics, and form fields are converted into a single image layer per page. As a result, text will no longer be selectable, searchable, or copyable, and any hyperlinks in the original document will be removed. This is perfect for when the visual representation is all that matters, like sending proofs, archiving documents, or sharing presentations.
