FAQ
Frequently asked
How much smaller will my PDF be? +
Image-heavy PDFs typically shrink 40–80%. Text-only PDFs may only shrink 5–15% since text is already efficient.
Will compression hurt quality? +
Light keeps images near-original; Strong uses lower JPEG quality. Pick the level that fits your use case.
Are files uploaded? +
Files never leave your browser — everything happens locally on your device.
