Why Compress PDF Files?
PDF compression is essential for reducing file sizes to save storage space, speed up file transfers, and make documents easier to share via email or upload to websites with file size limits.
Understanding Compression Levels
- Maximum Compression: Smallest file size but may reduce image quality significantly.
- Balanced: Good balance between file size reduction and quality preservation.
- Minimum Compression: Maintains highest quality with moderate size reduction.
Best Practices for PDF Compression
Choose compression levels based on your document's purpose. For archival documents, prefer quality. For web sharing or email, prioritize smaller file sizes.
