Frequently asked questions
Will the text stay selectable?
No. Compression re-renders pages as images, so text becomes non-selectable. It works best for scanned or image-heavy documents.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The PDF is processed entirely in your browser, so your file never leaves your device.
Is this tool free?
Yes, completely free with no signup, watermarks or limits.
