Compress PDF FAQ

Will text still be selectable?

No. This browser-based method turns each page into a compressed image, so text is no longer selectable. If the result is not smaller, the tool keeps your original.

Is the Compress PDF free?

Yes. It is free to use, with no signup and no usage limits.

Are my files or data uploaded?

No. Everything runs in your browser, so your files and details stay on your device.
