Frequently asked questions
How much smaller will my file get?
It depends on the file. PDFs created by Word or by a scanner usually shrink a fair amount; files that were already optimised barely change. If it cannot be reduced we tell you and nothing is downloaded.
Do I lose quality?
No. This tool rearranges and cleans up the file internally, but it does not lower the quality of the text or the images.
Are my files uploaded to the internet?
No. The whole process happens inside your browser, on your own computer.
