Frequently asked questions
How much smaller will it be?
Scans and PDFs with photos usually shrink by 50–90%. If your PDF was already small, we'll tell you and you keep the original.
Can I still copy the text?
No: to compress this much, every page is saved as an image. If you need selectable text, keep the original.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion happens in your own browser: your files never leave your device.
Is it free? Are there any limits?
It's free and needs no sign-up. The only limit is your device's memory.
