Why it matters
Tax records contain your SSN and income. DocFixy compresses them in your browser, so nothing reaches our servers before you send it to the IRS.

Common questions
Is my PDF uploaded to your servers?+
No. Your PDF is read and compressed entirely inside your browser. It never leaves your device.
Can you guarantee my file will reach the target size?+
No, and we won't pretend to. If a PDF can't reach your target while staying readable, we tell you and show the smallest readable size we could reach.
Why didn't my PDF shrink much?+
Some PDFs — especially already-compressed scans or text-only documents — are already small for their content. In that case we let you know instead of giving you a worse file.
Will the text still be selectable?+
Yes, in most cases. Each page is rebuilt as an optimized image with a hidden text layer on top, so text stays selectable and searchable for applicant tracking systems. After compressing, we show an ATS-safe check so you can confirm.
How many free compressions do I get?+
Three successful compressions per day, up to 20 MB each. No account needed.
What does Premium include?+
Files up to 200 MB, batch compression, advanced settings and higher limits for $5.99/month. Cancel anytime.
