Frequently asked questions

Will compressing a PDF reduce text quality?

Text stays sharp because compression mainly optimizes embedded images and redundant structure. Balanced mode prioritizes visual fidelity; Strong and Maximum apply tighter limits for smaller file sizes.

Is it safe to compress private documents here?

Yes. Files are processed entirely inside your browser and are never uploaded to our servers. Your documents never leave your computer during compression.
