Documents with searchable text

Start with preserve text and vectors. The file structure is rewritten without lowering image quality. Savings may be small; if the result is not smaller, you receive the original.

Scans meant for reading

Image rebuilding uses JPEG at 96 or 144 DPI and requires explicit acceptance. Text becomes unsearchable; links and accessibility structure are lost. Check small text and colors yourself.

No promised output size

Already optimized files may not shrink. There is no target-KB guarantee or support for every PDF feature. Keep your original. If the document exceeds the limits, split it first.
