Frequently asked questions
How does PDF compression work here?
Embedded raster images are re-encoded at a lower quality. Text-only PDFs may see little change since text is already compact.
Which level should I use?
Balanced suits most files. Use Strong for the smallest size when quality is less critical.
Are my PDFs uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser — your document never leaves this device.
