Lossless vs Lossy PDF Compression
Understanding the difference helps you choose the right compression level for your document.
✅ Lossless Compression
- • Removes redundant data without any quality reduction
- • Text, vector graphics, and fonts are always lossless
- • File size reduction is typically 10–30%
- • Output is pixel-perfect identical to the original
- • Best for: contracts, invoices, text-heavy reports
⚠️ Lossy Compression (Images)
- • Reduces image resolution and quality for smaller size
- • Applied only to embedded images — not text or vectors
- • File size reduction is typically 40–80%
- • Some fine image detail is permanently lost
- • Best for: scanned documents, photo-heavy presentations

Frequently Asked Questions
What PDF tools does Texterfly offer?
Texterfly offers 5 free PDF tools: Compress PDF (adjustable quality presets), JPG to PDF (images to PDF), Merge PDF (combine multiple PDFs), PDF to JPG (PDF pages to images at custom DPI), and Split PDF (extract pages by range). All are free, browser-based, and require no signup.
Is it safe to process PDFs in the browser?
Yes. All PDF processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript libraries (pdf-lib and PDF.js). Your PDF files are never uploaded to any server, never stored, and never transmitted. This makes the tools safe for confidential documents including contracts, medical records, and financial statements.
How much does PDF compression reduce file size?
PDFs with high-resolution images see the greatest reduction — typically 40–80% smaller. Text-only PDFs see smaller reductions (10–30%) since text is already compact. Already-compressed PDFs or those with embedded fonts see minimal reduction. Use "screen" or "ebook" presets for the smallest output; use "print" to preserve quality.
What image formats can I convert to PDF?
The JPG to PDF tool supports JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg) and PNG (.png). Upload multiple images and they combine into one PDF, one image per page. Drag to reorder images before converting to control the page sequence.
Can I merge PDFs in a specific order?
Yes. Upload your PDF files to the Merge PDF tool, then drag and drop them into the order you want. The final merged PDF will contain all pages in exactly the sequence you arranged.
What DPI should I use for PDF to JPG conversion?
72 DPI for screen/web display — smallest file size. 150 DPI for general use and email sharing — good balance. 300 DPI for printing — sharp images suitable for high-quality print output. Higher DPI produces larger files but better quality.
How do I split a PDF by specific page ranges?
Upload your PDF to the Split PDF tool and enter page ranges separated by commas — for example "1-3, 5, 7-10" extracts pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10 into a new PDF. You can also split into individual pages or equal chunks.
Will compression reduce text quality in my PDF?
No. PDF compression applies lossy reduction only to images within the PDF. Text, vector graphics, and other non-image content use lossless compression and are never degraded. Only embedded images are reduced in resolution when you choose "screen" or "ebook" presets.
What is the maximum PDF file size I can process?
Since all processing is in-browser, the limit is your device's available RAM — not a server cap. Most devices handle PDFs up to 100–200MB comfortably. Very large files (500MB+) may run slowly. For extremely large PDFs, split into smaller sections first, then process each section.
What is the difference between Merge PDF and JPG to PDF?
Merge PDF combines existing PDF files into one — inputs must already be PDF format. JPG to PDF converts image files (JPEG, PNG) into a PDF — inputs are images. To combine both images and existing PDFs: first use JPG to PDF to convert images, then use Merge PDF to combine everything into one document.
Are these PDF tools free?
Yes. All 5 PDF tools are 100% free with no registration, subscription, or payment required.
Do the tools work on mobile?
Yes. All tools are fully responsive and work on iOS and Android browsers without any app download. File selection uses your device's native file picker, so you can select PDFs from local storage, Google Drive, or iCloud.
