Frequently asked questions
How much smaller will my PDF get?
It depends on the original - image-heavy PDFs can shrink 60 to 80 percent, text-only PDFs less so. Try the medium preset first.
Will the text stay searchable and selectable?
Yes. We don't rasterise text - only embedded images are recompressed, so search and copy still work.
What's the file size limit?
Up to 50 MB per upload. Files are auto-deleted after 7 days.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes, the whole flow works on phones, tablets, and desktop. Upload, compress, and download straight from your phone browser.
