Frequently asked questions

How small can I shrink a PDF?

It depends on what's on the pages — text-heavy pages shrink less than photo-heavy ones. The tool tries a range of quality levels until it hits your target size, or gets as close as it can.

Does shrinking a PDF reduce quality?

Yes — pages are rasterized to hit a size target, so it's meant for meeting an upload limit, not for a file you'll edit further.

Is my file uploaded to shrink it?

No — everything happens locally in your browser.
