Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will compressing my PDF make the pictures look blurry?
We use smart scaling to make files much smaller, but we keep text and details sharp enough to read easily.
Is my private document stored on your system?
No. Your file is processed on our secure server and deleted immediately. We don't save or log anything.
Is there a maximum file size I can upload?
Yes, you can upload documents up to 50MB. This is plenty for almost all PDFs.
Can I compress a password-protected PDF?
No. If your document is locked, you must unlock it before uploading it for compression.
Can I compress a scanned PDF?
Yes, it works well. However, because scans are made of flat images, they might lose a tiny bit of sharpness to save space.
Do I need to pay or create an account?
No, it is totally free. There are no signups, fees, or watermarks.
