Frequently asked questions

How do I make a PDF smaller?

Choose the PDF, pick a target size and download the result. Scanned documents shrink the most.

Does compressing reduce the quality?

Text and vector graphics stay sharp. Only photos and scans are saved again, with visibly less detail at very small target sizes.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. Compression runs entirely in your browser.
