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.
