Frequently asked questions

Related tools

Is my PDF uploaded to compress it?+

No. The PDF is re-optimized entirely in your browser and never sent to a server — safe for private files and works offline once loaded.

How much smaller will my PDF get?+

It depends on the file. PDFs bloated with redundant structure or exported inefficiently can shrink noticeably; already-optimized or plain-text PDFs may shrink little. The tool always returns whichever is smaller — original or compressed — so it never makes your file bigger.

Will compressing reduce quality?+

The in-browser lossless pass (restructuring the file) keeps text and images identical. It's a safe, quality-preserving optimization rather than aggressive down-sampling.

Why didn't my PDF get much smaller?+

If it's mostly text or was already optimized, there's little redundant data to remove. The biggest savings come from PDFs with bloated internal structure.

Is it free?+

Yes — no signup, no watermark, and it runs entirely in your browser.

Your PDF is compressed entirely in your browser and is never uploaded. The lossless pass preserves content; savings vary by file. Provided free and ad-supported, without warranty.
