Frequently Asked Questions

Will compression make my PDF blurry?
No. Xonvert uses smart compression that optimizes images while maintaining visual quality. Text is never affected.
How much can I reduce the file size?
Typically 50-80%, depending on the content. PDFs with many high-resolution images see the biggest reductions.
Can I compress a scanned PDF?
Yes. Scanned PDFs with embedded images benefit greatly from compression — often reducing from 10MB+ to under 2MB.
Does compression remove any content?
No. All pages, text, images, and interactive elements are preserved. Only redundant metadata and inefficient encoding are optimized.
