PDF Too Large to Send? We've Been There.

Tired of the "File size too large" error when uploading or emailing documents?

❌ Email Limits Standard email providers like Gmail limit attachments to 25MB. Scanned PDFs often exceed this easily.
❌ Portal Rejections Job applications or government portals often have strict file size limits (e.g., max 2MB).
❌ Blurry Results Generic compressors often turn your text into unreadable pixels.
❌ Privacy Concerns Hesitant to upload sensitive legal or financial documents to unknown servers just for compression.

FAQ - PDF Compression

Q: Will I lose document quality after compression?

A: **Hardly noticeable.** Our recommended settings prioritize maintaining font clarity and image resolution while stripping away invisible data that bloats file size.

Q: Is it safe for sensitive financial or legal documents?

A: **Completely safe.** ITKB uses client-side processing, meaning the file stays on your computer. We never see your data, and it is never uploaded to any server.

Q: Are there any file size or usage limits?

A: Our tool is **100% free with no usage limits**. Since it runs on your own hardware, the only limit is your device’s available memory (RAM).

Q: Why did my file size stay the same after compression?

A: This happens if the PDF is already highly optimized or consists mainly of complex vector graphics that cannot be further compressed without breaking the file.
