Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I reduce my PDF size?
PDFs containing high-resolution scans and photos can often be reduced by 50% to 80%. Text-only PDFs experience smaller reductions because text is already compact.
Will text in my PDF become blurry?
No. Vector fonts and vector shapes are preserved with perfect sharpness; only oversized raster images are optimized.
Can I compress confidential financial documents safely?
Yes. Compression occurs entirely in your browser memory. Your documents are never transmitted across the internet.
Is there a limit on input file size?
You can comfortably compress documents up to 100MB directly on modern devices.
Privacy Guarantee
All PDF restructuring happens locally inside the browser. No file data is uploaded to remote servers or stored in any database.
