FAQ
- How much will my PDF shrink?
- Results vary by content. PDFs with many embedded images compress more. Text-heavy PDFs see modest savings.
- Is the quality affected?
- High quality preserves everything. Medium removes metadata redundancy. Low strips all document metadata for maximum savings.
- Are my files uploaded to a server?
- No — compression runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.
- What if my PDF doesn't get smaller?
- Already-optimised PDFs may not compress further. Try a different quality setting.
