Frequently asked questions

How does this compressor work?

It rasterises each page to an image, re-encodes it as JPG at the chosen quality, and rebuilds a smaller PDF — fully in your browser.

Will text remain selectable?

Because pages are re-encoded as images, selectable text is lost. For text-heavy PDFs prefer a server-side tool that recompresses image streams only.

Is the file uploaded?

No. All processing stays on your device.
