Frequently asked questions
How much smaller will my PDF get?
It depends on the content. Scanned documents and PDFs with many images usually shrink the most, often by 50–90%.
Will the text stay selectable?
With "Light" compression, yes. "Recommended" and "Strong" turn each page into an optimized image, so text can no longer be selected or searched.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser, so your files never leave your device.
