We offer three levels. Basic compression optimizes the internal structure of the PDF and keeps text selectable, with moderate savings. The recommended and maximum levels turn each page into an optimized image, which greatly reduces the size of scanned or photo-heavy documents, although the text can no longer be selected. If we cannot reduce your file, we tell you so you can keep the original.

For scanned or photo-heavy documents, "Recommended". If you need the text to stay selectable, "Basic". If only size matters, "Maximum".
PDFs that contain only text are usually already very light. Compression is most effective on images and scans.
With basic compression, no. With the recommended and maximum levels pages become images, with a small or moderate loss of sharpness depending on the level.
