Are there disadvantages to compressing PDF files?

A potential disadvantage of compressing a PDF is poor image quality. If the compression is too strong, photos, charts, or scanned pages may look blurry, and the resolution may be too low for high-quality printing.

If image quality is very important for your project, keep a copy of the original PDF until you’ve checked that the quality is good enough for your purposes.

With QuillBot’s free Compress PDF tool, you have a choice of compression strengths.

How does PDF compression work?

PDF compression works by:

• Re-encoding images more efficiently (and sometimes reducing their resolution or color depth)
• Removing unnecessary data like metadata and unused objects
• Embedding fonts more efficiently (often by keeping only the characters actually used)
• Optimizing how the PDF is stored (deduplicating resources and reorganizing internal objects for efficiency)

QuillBot’s Compress PDF tool is free to use and doesn’t add watermarks to your documents.
