One file at a time⚠️ Note: this process converts the pages into images, so the text inside the file will no longer be selectable or copyable after compression.
Toopec's PDF compression tool works by converting the file's pages into compressed images at an adjustable quality level, making it best suited for scanned documents or image-heavy files that are hard to shrink using traditional methods. Please note that the text will no longer be selectable or copyable after compression.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the tool reduce the PDF file size?
The tool mainly works by re-compressing the images embedded inside the file and lowering their excess quality, since images are usually the main reason PDF files become bloated.
Does compressing the file affect text readability?
Selectable text inside the file is not affected by compression since it is data, not an image — the effect is limited to the quality of embedded images and graphics only.
How much can the file size shrink, roughly?
It depends on the file content; files with high-resolution or scanned images can shrink significantly, while purely text-based files shrink less since they are already well compressed.
