Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Compress PDF tool do?

The Compress PDF tool on Nova Tools reduces the file size of your PDF document by converting its pages to JPEG images and rebuilding the PDF, making it smaller while maintaining readability.

What file types are supported for compression?

The tool supports only PDF files. Non-PDF files, such as images or other document formats, are not accepted and will trigger an error message during upload.

How do I use the target size feature?

Enter a desired file size (e.g., "500 KB" or "1 MB") in the target size field. The tool will attempt to compress the PDF to meet or approach this size. If the target is larger than the original file or unachievable, an alert will show the closest size achieved.

What should I do if the compression fails?

Ensure the uploaded PDF is valid and not corrupted. Verify your internet connection and use a modern browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox). If issues persist, contact our support team via the Contact Us
