Frequently Asked Questions
How does PDF compression work without uploading?
Krynn Tools uses pdf-lib running in your browser to re-encode images, strip redundant metadata, and optimize the PDF structure. No file is ever sent to a server.
Will my PDF look worse after compression?
Low compression preserves near-original quality. Medium and high compression reduce file size more aggressively — ideal for email attachments where visual fidelity is less critical.
Is there a maximum file size I can compress?
Since processing happens locally in your browser, the practical limit is your device's available memory. We recommend files under 100MB for the smoothest experience.
Can I compress a password-protected PDF?
Yes, as long as you know the password and unlock it first. Use our Unlock PDF tool to remove the password, then compress the file.
