Common questions
- Can I compress a PDF to an exact size, like 100 KB or 200 KB?
- Yes. Pick a target under “Compress to” — under 500 KB, 200 KB or 100 KB — and the tool re-renders the PDF at lower and lower weight until it lands under that size. Perfect for email and WhatsApp attachment limits.
- Is it safe to compress confidential PDFs here?
- Yes. Compression runs entirely in your browser — the PDF is never uploaded to any server, so contracts, statements and IDs never leave your device.
- Will the text still be selectable?
- No — this is the honest trade-off. Pages are re-rendered as images to achieve the compression, so text can no longer be selected or searched. If you need selectable text, keep the original.
- How much smaller will my PDF get?
- Scanned documents and image-heavy PDFs often shrink 60–90%. PDFs that are already efficient may barely change — the tool shows you the exact before and after size, and never hands back a bigger file without telling you.
