FAQ

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No — everything runs locally in your browser; your file never leaves your device.

How much smaller will my file get?

It depends on the file — quality and target image size affect image-heavy PDFs most. Grayscale can shrink color scans, while text-only PDFs barely change.
