Common questions (4)
How do you compress a PDF under 500 KB without ruining it?
We downsample embedded images and re-encode them as JPEG at modest quality (~78%). Text and vector graphics stay untouched — only photos shrink.
What if my PDF is mostly text?
Then it’s already small. fits. runs a lossless structural pass to dedupe streams and trim metadata. Typical savings: 5–20% with zero visual change.
Will the result look bad?
For PDFs dominated by photos: the photos will look like web-quality JPEGs, fine for reading and printing. For mixed PDFs: text stays sharp; the photos are the only thing that compresses visibly.
How is this different from online compressors?
Tools like Smallpdf and PDF24 upload your file to their servers, compress there, then download back. fits. does it in your browser — never sending your file anywhere.
