Question 1

Will compressing to 80KB make my PDF blurry?

Accepted Answer

At 80KB there's some quality tradeoff, but text and faces stay recognizable - check the live preview before downloading.

Question 2

Why do government and exam portals require PDFs under 80KB?

Accepted Answer

Portals set low limits like 80KB to ensure rapid upload processing, save server database storage, and prevent crashes during high-traffic registration periods.

Question 3

How can I fit my scan under 80KB while keeping it readable?

Accepted Answer

Our compressor automatically adjusts scaling and removes redundant streams. For scanned files, we also recommend trying the Grayscale option to strip color data, which saves substantial space while keeping text readable.

Question 4

Is this PDF compressor free and does it require signup?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely free, no signup, no daily limit, and no watermarks added to your files.

Question 5

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

Accepted Answer

No - everything happens locally in your browser via client-side processing, so your personal files are never uploaded or shared.
