Common Questions

What is the difference between Basic and Strong compression?

Basic removes unused data and optimizes structure, keeping text selectable. Strong converts pages to images, which shrinks file size drastically but makes text unselectable.

Will my file quality get worse?

Basic compression is lossless. Strong compression uses intelligent compression techniques to keep the file looking great while significantly reducing its size.
