FAQ

Are my PDFs uploaded?

No. The compressor processes the selected PDF in your browser. No upload endpoint or account is required.

Will text remain selectable?

This compressor rebuilds pages as optimized images, so the resulting PDF is visually preserved but text selection/search may not be retained.

Why can a result sometimes be larger?

PDFs that are already heavily optimized can be smaller than a rasterized reconstruction. If that happens, the tool tells you rather than pretending the file was reduced.

Is there a file-size limit?

There is no artificial server-side limit. Practical limits depend on your device memory, browser, page count, and PDF complexity.
