Common Questions
What are the typical email size limits?
Most major email providers like Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook have a limit of 20MB to 25MB for attachments. Our tool helps you shrink files to easily fit under these limits.
Will my PDF lose formatting when compressed for email?
No. The formatting is preserved, but images are optimized and structural layouts are cleaned up to reduce size. Note that text layers are converted to images at medium/high levels to maximize size reduction.
Can I compress password-protected PDFs?
No, password-protected PDFs cannot be read by this local tool. You must unlock them first before compressing.
