Frequently Asked Questions
Will my PDF text still be readable after compression?
Yes. The compression removes metadata and optimises the internal structure. Text quality is not affected.
What if my PDF is still over 1MB after compression?
For image-heavy scanned documents, consider re-scanning at lower DPI (150 DPI is sufficient for text).
Is my file safe?
Your PDF never leaves your device. Everything is processed in your browser.
