Frequently asked questions

Is PDF compression free?

Yes, completely free with no sign-up, no watermark, and no limit on how often you use it.

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?

No. Every conversion runs in your browser, on your own device. Your file is never sent to a server or stored anywhere but your device.

Will this shrink any PDF a lot?

It depends -- documents with many small internal objects shrink noticeably, but a PDF that’s mostly a few large scanned images won’t shrink much since embedded image data isn’t touched.

Does this work on mobile?

Yes -- it works in any modern browser on a phone, tablet, or desktop, with no app to install.
