Questions about this tool
How much smaller will my PDF get?
It depends on the content. PDFs with photos or scans often shrink by 50–90%. PDFs that are mostly text are usually small already and may only shrink a little.
What if it does not get smaller?
You get a message and no credits are used. Try Strong compression, which lowers image resolution further.
Is the text still selectable?
Yes. Text, links and page sizes are kept; only images are recompressed.
Are my files stored?
No. Files are processed in server memory and deleted right after the job.
