Frequently asked questions
Can every PDF be compressed to 200 KB?
Not always. PDFs with many high-resolution images or complex graphics may not shrink enough without unacceptable quality loss. The tool shows you the actual result so you can judge the quality yourself.
Does this work on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The compression runs entirely in your browser on any device with an internet connection, desktop or mobile.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. Everything happens locally in your browser. Your files never leave your device, which also means the process works offline once the page loads.
Will I lose the ability to select or search text?
Each page is re-rendered as an image during compression, so text in the result is no longer selectable or searchable. This is typical for heavy compression on image-heavy PDFs.
