Frequently asked questions
Will my PDF actually end up at 2 MB?
That depends on the document. Photos, scans and high-resolution graphics compress the most, while simple text PDFs may already be near their minimum. The tool shows you the exact result size so you can decide whether to keep it.
Is the compression done on my device or sent to a server?
Everything happens locally in your browser. Your PDF never leaves your computer, so there is no upload, no server storage and no third-party access to your file.
Can I compress multiple PDFs at once?
Yes. You can process up to 5 files in a single batch, each up to 100 MB. Results are shown individually so you can pick and choose what to download.
Will text still be selectable after compression?
No. Each page is re-rendered as an image during compression, so text in the result cannot be selected, copied or searched. Light compression keeps images sharper; strong compression reduces quality noticeably.
