Frequently asked questions
How does the PDF get smaller?
Each page is saved again as an image in the quality you choose. This helps mainly with scans and PDFs with many photos. Pure text PDFs often don’t get smaller this way; the tool tells you if so.
What is lost?
Text can no longer be selected or searched afterwards, and links and form fields are lost. So keep the original.
Is the PDF uploaded?
No. Compression happens in your browser, the file never leaves your device.
