Frequently Asked Questions

1How do I compress a PDF for free?

Upload your PDF to ZiaSign, choose a compression level (low, medium, high), click 'Compress', and download the smaller file. Free, no signup, no watermark.

2How much can I reduce the file size?

Typically 40-90% reduction depending on image content. Text-only PDFs see smaller reductions. Image-heavy PDFs can be compressed significantly.

3Does compression affect quality?

Text remains crisp at all compression levels. Images are optimized intelligently — quality loss is minimal and only visible at extreme zoom.

4Can I compress a PDF for email?

Yes. Use the high compression setting to get your PDF under typical email attachment limits (25 MB for Gmail, 20 MB for Outlook).

5Does the PDF compressor add a watermark?

No. ZiaSign never adds watermarks to compressed PDFs. The output is clean and professional.

6Is there a file size limit for compression?

Free users: 25 MB per file. Free account: 100 MB. Pro users: up to 300 MB per file.
