Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum email attachment size?

Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo all allow attachments up to 25MB. Many corporate email servers set lower limits of 10MB or even 5MB. Our compressor can help you get under any of these thresholds.

Will compressing my PDF reduce quality?

No. PDFShift compresses by stripping unnecessary metadata and optimizing internal object streams. The visual content — text, images, and layout — remains identical.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. All compression happens locally in your browser. Your file never leaves your device, making it safe for sensitive documents like contracts, tax forms, and medical records.
