Does compressing a PDF reduce quality?

For text-heavy PDFs the quality stays the same. For image-heavy PDFs there may be a slight reduction in image sharpness, but the result is usually not noticeable on screen.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Compression runs entirely securely in your browser without uploading using JavaScript. Your file never leaves your device.

How much can I reduce the file size?

Results vary by content. Image-heavy PDFs typically shrink 40–70%. Text-only PDFs may shrink 10–30%.

What is the maximum file size I can compress?

There is no hard limit enforced by the tool. Very large files (500 MB+) may be slow because processing happens securely in your browser without uploading.
