Frequently asked questions
Can I always reach 1 MB?
It depends on the original file. Image-heavy PDFs compress more aggressively than text-only PDFs. If the result is still too large, try splitting the PDF first.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your PDF never leaves your device.
Is there a file count limit?
No. You can compress as many PDFs as you like, one after another, completely free.
