When using Reduce File Size, users often ask about 3 areas: compression results, document quality, and feature differences; this section covers 3 common questions and a short glossary.
FAQ
Will Reduce File Size affect document quality?
- Reduce File Size mainly lowers document size by compressing images and cleaning redundant data.
- Image quality may change after compression.
- Text content and layout usually remain unaffected.
- If you want to keep the original result, back up the original document before starting.
What should I do if the size reduction is not obvious?
- Check whether the document contains many images.
- If the document has only a few images, the available reduction space is usually limited.
- You can remove unnecessary images or replace them with smaller ones and try again.
- Use the before-and-after size comparison to judge the result.
What is the difference between Reduce File Size and compressing a file?
- Reduce File Size works on images and redundant data inside the document.
- After processing, the document itself becomes smaller.
- File compression usually packages the whole file without changing the internal document content structure.
- After extracting a compressed archive, the file usually returns to its original size.
