Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. This tool runs entirely in your web browser. Your files never leave your device, which makes it safe for private documents.
How much smaller will my PDF get?
Scanned documents and PDFs full of photos often shrink by 50–90%. PDFs that are mostly plain text are already small and may not shrink much; if the result is not smaller, your original is kept.
Will the text still be selectable?
No. To get the biggest saving, each page is re-saved as an optimised image. Keep your original if you need to copy or search the text.
Can I compress a PDF to 100 KB or 200 KB?
Try Extreme compression. A one- or two-page scan usually ends up well under 200 KB.
