Frequently asked questions
Which level should I pick?
“Lossless” optimizes the file structure without touching content. Other levels turn pages into lighter images: very effective for scans.
Does text stay selectable?
With “Lossless”, yes. With other levels, pages become images: text is no longer selectable.
What if the file isn’t smaller?
Papetal compares sizes and tells you: some PDFs (text only) are already optimized.
