Frequently asked questions

How do I make a PDF smaller?

Open the PDF in LuxuryPDF, choose Compress and download the smaller version.

Will compressing reduce the quality?

Compression trades some image detail for size. Check the result before sending, and keep your original.

Why is my PDF so large?

High resolution photos and scans are the usual cause. Compressing reduces the weight of those images.

Can I compress a scan?

Yes. Scans are mostly images, so they often shrink a lot.
