Frequently asked questions
How can I reduce the size of a PDF?
Most of a PDF's size comes from pictures. The tool lowers the picture resolution so the file gets much smaller, while keeping the text sharp.
Will the text still be sharp?
Yes. Text and vector shapes stay sharp. Only photos and scans inside the PDF lose some detail.
Is my PDF kept on your server?
No. The file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, processed, and deleted right after the result is sent back.
Why did my PDF not get smaller?
Some PDFs are already well optimised or contain mostly text. In that case you get your original file back unchanged.
Is there a size limit?
Files up to 50 MB are supported.
Is it free?
Yes, with no sign-up and no watermark.
