Frequently Asked Questions

Is the PDF compressor free?

Yes, completely free. Compress as many files as you need — no account, no subscription, no daily limits.

Is my file uploaded to a server when I compress it?

No. All compression happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your files never leave your device — 100% private.

How much can I reduce a PDF's file size?

It depends on the PDF content. Files with many images can often be reduced by 50–80%. Text-heavy PDFs see smaller reductions since text is already compact.

Will compression reduce the quality of my PDF?

You choose the level. Higher compression reduces file size more but may slightly reduce image quality. Text and vector elements remain sharp regardless.

Does PDF compression work on iPhone or Android?

Yes. The tool works on iPhone, iPad, and Android in any modern browser — no app to install.
