  3. 3. Download your smaller PDF.

Frequently asked questions

Will my text stay sharp?

Compression re-renders each page, so it works best on scanned or image-heavy PDFs. You control the quality with a simple slider and see the new size before downloading.

Is my file uploaded?

Never. The whole process runs locally in your browser using your device's own power.
