Compress PDF: questions
How does the compression work?
Each page is re-rendered as an optimised image. This works best for scanned documents and photo-heavy PDFs. Text in the result is no longer selectable.
What if the file gets bigger?
If compression can't make it smaller, we tell you and keep your original.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Everything runs inside your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server, so nobody else can see them.
