Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The PDF is rendered and rebuilt by your own browser. It never touches a server — safe even for bank statements and ID documents.
Will the text still be selectable?
For strong compression the pages are converted to high-quality images, so text is no longer selectable. Upload portals don't care — but keep your original for editing.
What if my PDF is password-protected?
Remove the password first (open it with the password and print-to-PDF), then compress. Encrypted files can't be read by the tool.
How big a PDF can I compress?
Up to about 60 pages runs comfortably; larger files work but take longer since every page is re-rendered on your machine.
