Frequently asked questions

How much smaller will my file be?

It depends on the content. Scanned PDFs and PDFs with lots of photos can shrink by 50% to 90%. Text-only PDFs are already small, so they won't shrink much.

Which level should I use for government websites and court portals?

Start with Balanced. If the site still rejects the file because of its size, use Strong and select grayscale.

Can I still select the text?

Yes, in Lossless mode. In the other modes, pages are converted into optimized images—ideal for scanned documents.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser: your file is read and processed on your device, and not a single byte is sent over the internet. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads.

Is it really free? Is there a daily limit?

It's free with no daily limits. Processing happens on your device, so there's no per-use cost and no need to limit you.

Does it work on phones?

Yes. The site works in any modern browser on Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac, and Linux—no installation needed.
