Frequently Asked Questions - Online File Optimization & Compression
How much can file optimization reduce file size?
Results vary by file type and content. Images (JPG, PNG) typically see 60–90% size reduction. PDFs compress by 40–80% depending on embedded assets. Office documents (DOCX, PPTX) with embedded images often reduce by 50–70%. The before/after comparison is shown before download so you can decide.
Will compression affect the visual quality of images or PDFs?
In lossless mode, there is zero quality change - only redundant data is removed. In optimized mode, the compression is tuned to be visually imperceptible to the human eye at normal viewing sizes. You can compare the output before downloading and choose the mode that suits your needs.
What file formats are supported?
Images: JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF. Documents: PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, TXT. Other formats are supported in media optimization mode. If your format isn't listed, contact us.
Can I optimize multiple files at the same time?
Yes. Batch processing lets you upload and optimize many files in a single session. All optimized files can be downloaded at once as a ZIP archive. Batch limits depend on your plan - free users can process up to 10 files per session.
Is my data safe during optimization?
Yes. All files are uploaded over an encrypted TLS connection, processed in an isolated environment, and permanently deleted from our servers immediately after you download the optimized result. We do not access, review, or retain your files.
Do I need to install software to use file optimization?
No. ForgeFile runs entirely in the browser - no desktop app, plugin, or browser extension required. It works on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
What is the maximum file size I can optimize?
Free users can optimize files up to 50 MB per file. Registered users get up to 500 MB per file, and premium plans support even larger files and unlimited batch sessions.
