Common questions

Will my text get blurry?

No. Only pictures inside the PDF are made smaller. Text and fonts are left as they are, so text stays sharp and selectable.

Why did my PDF barely get smaller?

Compression works mostly on pictures, so a PDF that is mainly text has little to shrink. If it cannot be made smaller, we tell you and no copy is downloaded.

Which level should I choose?

Recommended suits most files. Extreme makes the smallest file but lowers picture quality. Less keeps quality the same and only stores the file more tightly.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The work happens in your own browser, so your file is not sent to our servers. It stays on your device.
