Questions
How much smaller will my PDF get?
PDFs full of photos or scans often shrink by 50–90%. PDFs that are mostly text are already small and may not change much.
Will the text stay sharp?
Yes. Only photos and scanned images are compressed. Text, vector graphics and fonts are kept exactly as they are, so text stays sharp and searchable.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Compression runs in your browser, so confidential documents never leave your device.
