FAQ
Does greyscale conversion reduce file size?
Usually yes — especially if the document contains many color images. Text-heavy PDFs see minimal size reduction.
Is text quality preserved?
Yes. Text and vector elements are converted without any loss of sharpness.
Can I convert only specific pages to greyscale?
No — conversion applies to the entire document. For selective processing, split the PDF, convert the needed pages, and merge back.
