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.
