Will the text stay sharp?

Yes. This pass keeps the page content and tightens the file structure.

Which compression level should I pick?

Medium is a good start. Use strong when an email or form rejects the file size. Use light if images must stay crisp.

Is the file uploaded?

No. Compression runs in your browser.

About PDF Compress

The file is rewritten in the browser with compact object streams. Text stays selectable. This is a structural optimization, so image-heavy PDFs may shrink only a little. The file is not uploaded.

Choose light, medium, or strong. Light keeps more quality. Strong aims at the smallest file for email or a form with a size cap. Compare original and compressed sizes before you download.

Email, forms, and scans

Use compression when a mailbox or upload field rejects the file. Scanned PDFs full of photos shrink less than text-heavy reports.
