Frequently Asked Questions

Will compressing my PDF make text or signatures blurry?

No. Text fonts and signatures are stored as mathematical vectors and stay razor-sharp at any zoom level. CrispPDF only downsamples oversized embedded raster photos and eliminates unused metadata.

How much can I reduce my PDF file size?

Scanned files and photo-heavy PDFs typically reduce by 60% to 90%. For text-heavy documents, file size reduces by 30% to 50% by cleaning redundant cross-reference tables.

Which compression level should I choose for email attachments or portals?

For email attachments, the "Balanced (150 DPI)" preset is ideal. For government portals with strict 200KB or 100KB ceilings (like UPSC, SSC, or EPFO), select our one-click "Target 200KB" or "Target 100KB" preset.

Why is compression so much faster on CrispPDF than other websites?

Because CrispPDF runs on your device hardware via WebAssembly, eliminating the time wasted uploading huge files to remote servers and waiting in download queues.
