Common questions
How do I reduce the size of a PDF?
Pick Strong compression for the smallest file. It turns pages into compressed images, so text stops being selectable. Light keeps text and removes extra data.
Why did my file not shrink?
Some PDFs are already optimized. Try Strong compression with a lower quality.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Every tool is free and works without signing in.
Are my files private?
Yes. All processing happens in your browser. Your files are never sent to our servers.
