Frequently asked questions
How small will my PDF get?
It depends on the content — image-heavy PDFs shrink the most. Try Strong if you need to hit a specific size like 100 KB.
Where is my file processed?
On our server, using Ghostscript. The uploaded file and the result are automatically deleted within one hour and never stored or shared.
Will compressing reduce quality?
Slightly, for images — text stays sharp. Use Light to keep the best quality.
Is it free?
Yes — free, no signup, no watermark.
