Can I compress PDF without losing quality?

Yes. Use Best Quality or Good Quality on pdfcorpus for lighter compression that keeps text and images clearer. Smallest Size prioritizes file size over quality.

Which PDF compressor keeps text sharp?

pdfcorpus uses vector-aware compression on text PDFs instead of rasterizing every page, which helps keep text sharp after compression.

Quality modes explained

Best Quality — Light compression, sharpest output. Use for legal documents, resumes, and contracts where clarity matters most.

Good Quality — Balanced reduction. Recommended for most users who need smaller files but readable text.

Smallest Size — Maximum compression. Best when file size is more important than perfect image quality.

Why some PDF compressors blur text

Basic compressors convert every page to a low-resolution image. That makes text fuzzy. pdfcorpus detects text-heavy PDFs and avoids unnecessary rasterization, so you get a true high quality PDF compressor experience on digital documents.

When quality loss is unavoidable

Scanned PDFs are already images. Aggressive compression lowers image DPI, which softens details. For scans, choose Good Quality for a middle ground, or Smallest Size only when you must hit a strict KB limit.
