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.
